“Great results, can be achieved with small forces.”

Scroll down below to learn about the news blackout on Oregon’s planted- vs. harvested-acreage wine grape data which began in 2018, and which was then ramped up to a complete news blackout on all Oregon wine grape data in 2022 and 2023.
They ditched the annual report they’ve been using for twenty years, because it was so easy for me to point out what’s going on.
Instead, their annual report now blathers on and on about “global warming” and “climate change” hurting the grape crop, and then sprays incomplete information from different areas in Oregon, so you can’t grasp the big picture.
Unfortunately for them, this is the product of just a few hours of work on my part.
How long do you think that these people have left in power, now?
Please considering doing what you can to help speed the transition.

In 2017, the difference between Oregon’s planted grape acreage and harvested grape acreage was 9.6% (33,996 vs. 31,008). By moving from harvested to planted acres, Oregon has put a 10% hedge in place to blunt your awareness of the trend I’m elucidating here.
In 2018, Oregon’s grape yield was 2.145 tons per acre (77,170 vs. 35,972).
