This spring has turned out to be one of the busiest yet, and we are just now getting to the "weedbadging".
Here's a short video with my silly commentary. As I explain in the clip, Matt is in our biggest vineyard which is planted very close together so he cannot use the automatic sensor, so it's a stressful job. Not only does he have to be careful that the machine doesn't become the "Vine Badger" he also has to keep the tractor as straight as possible so that he doesn't drive over them!! I have yet to try, since I found plowing in a straight line a challenge, I can't imagine what I would do with the Weedbadger!

Oh.. exactly as a toscan wine-maker ;-))
Amy, Matt, nice to see you again, this time on the web, after our meeting in Genova, Terroir Vino. There is a little surprise for you in the video I've done for that event. Curious? Obviously yes!
Look in my website, the first video of "Speciale Terroir Vino" eheheh.
Sorry, the comment is in italian.. but in few words it says how is important Internet for all of us. That is why Terroir Vino is different from any other similar event in Italy. Filippo Ronco is unic.
Maybe soon I'll make the english version, I'm afraid of mistakes but.. perhaps you'll forgive me for the wrong words and appreciate the right aim :-).
A bien tot!
Alessandra
