The USDA\u2019s Agricultural Research Service (ARS) and the National Grape Research Alliance (NGRA) are
\npartnering to produce the NGRA-ARS Sensor Technology Workshop to be held this fall in Sacramento, CA.
\nJoin wine and grape industry principals to hear from scientists about the sensors
\nthat support\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0grape-growing today (including the strengths and shortcomings of these offerings),
\nwhat\u2019s in the research pipeline and what advances are on the horizon.<\/strong>
\nIn this dynamic event, the scientists will gain valuable insight about sensor technologies, too,
\nfrom a panel of early-adopters,\u00a0from industry attendees and from fellow researchers, as well.
\nBe a part of the exploration!<\/strong><\/p>\n
