The soils of the Midwest are known around the world for their ability to grow vigorous bumper crops. Unfortunately, highly fertile soils produce highly vigorous vines. Vigor management is a common topic of discussion as growers contact me every day. The phrase “Big Bush” comes up often. Unfortunately, what we know now would have been very handy 10 years ago when we started planting all these vineyards. Many of our vineyards could have easily used a 9’-10’ spacing between their vines instead of the commonly used 6’ – 8’ plant spacing used in other regions of the U.S. Like the old saying goes; Location – Location – Location means everything for a vineyard. Here are some options you can consider to slow down some of that VIGOR in your vineyard: 1. The act of combing high wire canopies downward provides a small amount of devigoration as the terminal tips are pointed downward. 2. Increasing the crop load. Monitoring several vines with several different crop loads will give you a better idea of the approximate crop load they could be carrying. Leaving a heavy crop load and then cluster thinning at veraison can be used on “monster” vines 3. Reduce or completely eliminate nitrogen applications. 4. Apply herbicides in the fall after the first frost to eliminate Dutch White Clover from the vineyard floor. Research has show that a 30% or greater stand of clover (a nitrogen producing legume) in a grass pasture can provide approximately 75-100 lbs of slow release nitrogen to the grass, eliminating the use of nitrogen applications in grass pastures. This concept also works with lawns. 5. Reduce or completely eliminate supplemental irrigation. 6. Narrow up the weed/grass free area under the wire. I have seen several mature vineyards allow the grass to grow right up the trunk without detriment to the vines. Note, these were all “mature” vineyards growing on “vigorous” sites. 7. Planting a cover crop like oats, spring wheat, spring rye, or spring barley at veraison will provide 2 competition to reduce late season vigor and promote the winter hardening process. These grain crops will not produce seed and will die in the winter providing soil cooling shade (delaying bud break) and soil erosion protecting mat the following spring. 7. Growing out vigor diversion canes (aka- “kicker canes”) from the base of the plant each season and training them along a low training wire can be used to both reduce some of the vigor and produce additional clusters if so desired. 8. Dividing the single canopy into a double canopy system by either switching over a Single High Wire to a Geneva Double Curtain or turning a Vertical Shoot Positioned (VSP) system into a Lyre system. 9. Increasing the crop load by turning a VSP system into a divided vertical canopy by converting to a Smart–Dyson or a Scott Henry system. 10. Grafting low to moderate vigorous vines onto the present vigorous rootstocks. 11. Root pruning by running a knife or rolling coulter approximately 15-20” deep and approximately 15” – 20” along one or both sides of the row has shown some promise in reducing shoot growth. This practice has not proven very predictable. As you can see, we have many tools we can use to help control vigor in the vineyard. Dr. Nelson Shaulis at Cornell University came up the with Geneva Double Curtain (GDC) in the 1960’s as a way to increase yields, control vigor and increase fruit quality of juice grapes. Maybe we need to come up with the Ames Triple Curtain (ATC) to do the same thing here at ISU!

This is the home office of Wyldewood Cellars. They also have wineries located at Paxico – KS, West Wichita – KS, Kansas City (Legends Mall) and the newest one in St. Joseph – Mo. The staff at the winery were very customer oriented and were very pleasant to talk with. It was 4 worth the stop. I would highly recommend stopping by the winery if you are traveling south on I-35 through Kansas. It is located on the southwest corner of the #33 exit. Wyldewood Cellars was first established in 1994 inside an old storefront in downtown Mulvane, KS by the brother and sister team of Dr. John and Mary Brewer. After a fire in 1999, the main location was moved out to I-35. Today the winery is famous for their elderberry juices and wines. John and Mary’s mother, Margaret Millican is the largest producer of Elderberry plants in the U.S. and is a recognized expert in propagating and crossbreeding elderberries. You can purchase plants from Margaret and her husband Jack by contacting them at 918-473-0797 or [email protected]. Wyldewood Cellars is the most recognized elderberry winery in the U.S. with a list of over 400 International awards. They currently sell over 40 different fruit and grape wines. They also have several elderberry growers they purchase from and have a elderberry patch growing next to their Mulvane winery. They also grow Marquis, Norton, Traminette and Chambourcin in their vineyard. (Above) Road entrance to Wyldewood (Above) Elderberry patch growing on Cellars Winery west side of winery.

    Welcome from the President ELCOME TO THE 29TH ANNUAL Great Taste of the Midwest. At a time when we probably should be over- whelmed by the explosive growth of the craft beer industry, we are too busy trying to figure Wout how to make this event a better experience for all. To that end, we are excited that we have maintained the same foot- print as we’ve had in past years, but have added more brewer space, by moving our merch tents and adding a few new tents to a previously restricted staff only area of the park (inside the “loop road”). This allows us bring in some new brewers while continuing to bring back the brewers that you come to expect to see at the Great Taste of the Midwest. I would like to thank Great Taste Chairman, Mark Garthwaite and the multitude of volunteers that make this event happen. We are all very proud that this is the only event of this size that is run by a 100% volunteer effort. Their passion for beer is a large part of what makes a volunteer effort of this size a success. I would also like to thank all of the Brewers that come to the Great Taste of the Midwest. All of “our” passion for beer flows from their passion. As the event has grown and produced more return Brewers each year, we’ve come to think of the Brewers as family coming home every year on the second Saturday in August. Sadly, I have to acknowledge the passing of several MHTG members since the last Great Taste.

Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) is one of the grants, which provides dedicated, discretionary funding for projects that address critical issues facing our nation’s highways and bridges. In July 2019, MoDOT was awarded an $81 million INFRA grant towards the replacement of the Interstate 70 (I-70) Missouri River bridge at Rocheport. As a result, MoDOT is preparing to replace the bridge. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and MoDOT’s Engineering Policy Guide (EPG) requires a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) re-evaluation when there has been greater than 3 years since the original NEPA approval, or when changes related to the original study have occurred. The original NEPA approval – an Environmental Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) – was made in 2005. Due to the amount of time that has passed since the initial evaluation and the more defined project limits, a NEPA re-evaluation of the previous studies for the Rocheport bridge is required and will be prepared in compliance with NEPA. Background The I-70 Corridor One of the most important limited-access highways across the United States is I-70, which provides an east-west connection across much of the United States.

Thanks in large part to that leadership, the Association has been a proud and prominent resource for the University and its alumni for 163 years. This resource guide is the product of our commitment to communicate efficiently and effectively with our volunteer leaders. We are hopeful the enclosed information is a useful tool for you as you serve on our Governing Board. It is critical that you know and share the story of how the Association proudly serves the best interests and traditions of Missouri’s flagship university. We are proud to serve a worldwide network of 300,000 Mizzou alumni. Your volunteer leadership represents a portion of our diverse, vibrant and loyal membership base. While Mizzou has many cherished traditions, the tradition of alumni support is one that we foster by our actions and commitment to the Asso- ciation and the University. Thank you for your selfless service to MU and the Association. With your involvement and engage- ment, I am confident we will reach our vision of becoming the preeminent resource for the University of Missouri.
