I can understand how growers with large vineyards would want to mechanize aspects of viticulture. Totally, on board. We have a tractor (although sometimes, I would like to do things with horse, that is totally a pipe dream). But one of the exciting things about having a vineyard is actually going out into the vineyard and seeing things up close.
Since we are in the middle of the blizzard of 2017, I have been going through all of the blogs that I have posted and curated them into their appropriate categories. As I went through the blogposts, I came upon many postings I wrote about but did not categorize on the cool things we saw in the vineyard as we worked. So, I collated them under the heading Vineyard Sightings. Two of my favorite vineyard sightings are
(1)Seeing a murmuration of starlings one fall morning:
Birds: Director's Cut
(2)A flock of around 30-40 turkeys in a race with my husband on a tractor:
