How much does it cost?
 
Our fees vary according to your acreage and the amount of customer support and training needed. As you will note, these fees are extremely low and average less than 1-2% of total annual farming costs. The reduction of one farming activity during the year or an increase of 1/10th of a ton per acre would more than pay for the entire cost of the service. Quite a return for a small investment. And that doesn't even count the potential for improved relationships with your clients and higher grape prices.
