U.S. Wine Consumption Grows for a Record 15th Consecutive Year Comments from Readers Neeto-Keeno WWW Stuff 2,4-D Resistant Grapes on the Horizon Dr. Robert Skirvin , professor of horticulture in the College of Agriculture, Consumer and Environmental Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign has used genetic engineering methods to patent “Improved Chancellor” that is resistant to 2,4-D. A gene from a soil bacterium that was found to digest 2,4-D pesticide residues in the soil was inserted into regular Chancellor grapes by Dr. Steve Farrand a University of Illinois microbiologist. Dr. Margaret Norton oversaw the tissue culture of this new grape. Dr. Skirvin hopes to start growing the new Improved Chancellor in isolation plots in 2009. The research for this project has been funded internally by the University of Illinois and they hold the patent for Improved Chancellor. Dr. Skirvin is looking for outside funding sources to take the research to the next level. You can read the entire news release here: Herbicide-resistant grape could revitalize Midwest wine industry, 10-14-08 Univ. of IL: http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-10/uoia-hrg101408.php 1 Iowa Governor Chet Culver Proclaims November Iowa Wine Industry Month There are over 70 licensed native wineries in our state, and the financial impact of our industry is increasing. To celebrate Iowa's growing wine industry Governor Chet Culver has signed a proclamation declaring November Iowa Wine Industry Month. Check out the proclamation here: https://iowawinegrowers.org/pdfs/nov_winemonth_proclamation.pdf Governor Culver Diagram from “How to Build Orchard & Vineyard Trellise’s” U.S. Steel, Pittsburg, PA A Good Idea to Reduce Wire Tension Before Winter High tensile trellis fruiting wires (not catch wires) are normally tightened to a tension of 200 to 250 pounds. A tension above 250 pounds is not needed and can damage some of the fasteners used to construct the trellis. A 80º - 20ºF drop in temperature on a 12.5 ga. high tensile wire 500’ long can increase the wire tension by 130 pounds. It is a common practice to loosen up those trellis wires before cold temperatures start occurring or fasteners can pop out and brace posts will begin to move. As shown in the diagram, it is possible to measure the approximate tension on any high-tensile wire anywhere on the trellis by constructing a simple homemade tension tester. Using a straight piece of ¾” by 2” board 42” inches long, drive two nails on a straight line into the board spaced 40” apart at points A and B. Drive a third nail ½” below the line from A to B at point C. With nails A and B 2 touching the wire, attach a spring or electronic hand scale on the center of the wire and pull it down until the wire touches the nail at C. Read the number of pounds necessary to pull the wire to point C and multiply by 20. For example, as illustrated in the figure above, a pull of 12.5 lbs multiplied by 20 would equal a tension of 250 pounds on the wire. TTB Expo 2009 Scheduled for June 24-26, 2009 – Cincinnati, Ohio TTB (Alcohol and Tax & Trade Bureau) Expo 2008 was by all accounts a huge success that far exceeded our expectations. Close to 550 people attended the 43 educational sessions and visited our 16 exhibition booths. The Expo was a clear indication of the importance TTB places on educating and communicating with our regulated industry members. The feedback received on the Expo surveys was overwhelmingly positive. Close to 98 percent of the respondents said that they would come back to another TTB Expo in the future. They have already started planning for TTB Expo 2009. It will be held June 24 – 26, 2009, back at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center in Covington, Kentucky, just minutes away from downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. In response to the feedback we received in the TTB Expo 2008 surveys, they will be offering more targeted sessions and adding more detailed information to the sessions. There will be a greater number of exhibition booths in 2009. Attendees will be have more opportunities to ask questions and interact with the TTB employees. Additional new features will be announced in the coming months. Official TTB Announcement: http://www.ttb.gov/conference/expo09.shtml Only 6 seats left in this class!

DRS manufactures and sells the NetterGetter (vineyard netting machine) and Nukeaweed (vineyard weed sprayer). It was a long day and a long trip (560 mile round trip), but well worth the effort. Jim and Sharla Nickell, the owners of Belleview Hollow Vineyard and their son-in-low George Neitzel were first class hosts. The weather was perfect, the food fantastic, the wine excellent, the vineyard tour was very informative and the people were great.

  • 2015 Festival Organizers and Staff
    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.
