Top grape growers: American/Western Fruit Grower presents the nation's top grape growers, as well as important information on grape-growing issues from coast to coast

摘要

Being the best in your industry deserves special recognition. That's what you'll find in reading these pages of the nation's top grape growing operations, presented by American/Western Fruit Grower magazine and sponsored by Arvesta Corp. These are growers that, through maximizing their resources and knowing when to cut their losses, have weathered challenges and continue to come out on top. In previous years, we have listed the top growers for each type of crop in the same issue. However, this yearwe felt that devoting our coverage to one crop at a time can offer a more complete package for what makes these companies so successful. Within these pages, you will also be able to take a close look at some of the companies that made our list. We askedeach of them two questions: how important is quality control in commanding better prices when faced with a market oversupply; and what disease control challenges they anticipate in the coming year. It's interesting what they had to say.
