Thanks for the ABC News site. What fun to watch! Wine pests we have are generally black flies, black rot, and downy mildew. The only spray I generally use is a fungicide to control the downy mildew. We do not need to irrigate in Northeastern Pennsylvania in that we have plenty of rain. Too bad about having to buy water from the government. I have a cousin in Wales whose barn water comes from the well under the manure pile. Ain't government great?

"Landline" every Sunday here at midday, all about farming ,I try not to miss.
replayed Monday 11am. all Eastern Australian Standard Time.
Pleased you found it of interest.
Happy debugging.. Ian.

Aust. has been described as the driest continent, just had 10 years of drought, so water is the number 1 problem, gave too many extraction licences. Our main River is the Murray which is fed by Queensland,Victoria,New South Wales and South Australia so the waters that flow into it are from practically half the continent.Like your Mississippi.
The Murray is in a poor state so the Govt. has eventually got off their Donkey? and are putting in controls to turn things around, buying back Licenses etc .
Probably a few votes in it.
