Accomplishments
Coordinated projects within NE-1020 have served as foundational plantings and fostered collaborations between principals on two SCRI projects that have extended program efforts: “Improved grape and wine quality in a challenging environment: An eastern US model for sustainability and economic vitality” (NIFA 2010-51181-21599, T. Wolf, PI) and “
Northern grapes: Integrating viticulture, winemaking, and marketing of new cold hardy cultivars supporting new and growing rural wineries” (NIFA 2011-51181-30850, T. Martinson, PI). Both projects were active during this reporting period and have generated substantial output in research publications, Extension efforts, and teaching programs.
Plantings have served PIs in attracting external funding in support of project goals and expanded and related objectives.
A database for archiving project data was refined by Dr. Dan Ward and includes integrated SAS analysis of each states’ data. The database is ready and accepting additional datasets from participating states.
Plans and objectives for developing a proposal for future project funding have been outlined.
Wines from NE1020 plantings were evaluated in 2014 and 2015 and data collected will be summarized in a future publication.
