At this time Sonoma County Cooperative Extension office no longer has a funded Viticulture Farm Advisor position.
The University would entertain a discussion with the wine industry to hire a new viticulture advisor if the industry would fund half the cost of the position with a five-year commitment for the funding.
This survey is designed to capture information from commercial growers about existing needs. We will only use this information to help advocate for the future funding of this position so that your needs do not go unmet.
Thank you for your continued support.
* Winegrape production in Sonoma County totals over six hundred fifty million dollars annually and accounts for the greatest revenue of all agricultural crops in the county. The viticulture program provides education and outreach to winegrape growers to improve viticultural practices and address issues facing viticulture in the county.
