This profitable farm demands quality produce and excellent wines for high returns. Yet, grain and field crop farming can be more profitable with sufficient land and machinery.
Farmers prefer loose, well-drained soils with some gravel for optimal berry growth. This allows vertical and horizontal root development, ensuring good drainage and aeration.

The prime time to plant rooted cuttings of cultivated varieties in the main field is September and October. In contrast, for rootstocks, February and March are the optimal months.
Vines get watered right after pruning and fertilising. During berry growth, we water every 5-7 days. But before harvesting, we pause watering for 8-10 days to enhance fruit quality.
Grapes thrive when they get essential nutrients. These include phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium. They also benefit from trace elements like copper, zinc, and iron.
