We beat the heat this morning to harvest table grapes at the West Madison Ag Station. The greatest vine produced 31.9lb of grapes🍇 We are amazed with the harvest given the early season damage!

This season Leslie Holland, PhD received a lot of emails and phone calls concerning fruit crops showing symptoms of decline often associated with diseases. It’s worth noting that many of the diagnoses she's offered have been linked to drought stress. fruit.wisc.edu/2023/08/22/pla…
