Farmers growing conventional crops like tobacco, soy beans, etc. are faced today with the sure prospect that prices for their products are to fall even lower and massive government support is in a steady decline as the Nation struggles with a mounting deficit. It is therefore wise to look for alternative crops to fill the gap. We know of no better way to consider than the ‘new’ agricultural industry of growing the great European varietal grapes that alone make the finest and most expensive wines.

There are farmers who can devote part of their land not being otherwise used to viniculture, and we are seeing a large number of business entrepreneurs who are looking to invest in this healthy, outdoor enterprise that is so different from the every-day work of the office.
