[Business Members](https://vineyardteam.app.neoncrm.com/forms/11) to exhibit and
network directly with upper-level agricultural decision-makers who represent over

_As stated by staff, water use goes down. I mean the most dramatic results of extending
the grazing period in vineyards. For it is the potential to decrease water use. 
All the while increasing yield and quality. Weeds and cover crops become a resource
to be harvested. Thereby adding value to both the animal and the soil._
