If there is a project in your mind and you need a spark to get started, the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) is available to grant financial assistance. 

There are opportunities for qualified applicants of federal funding for vineyard projects that demonstrate a conservation benefit available through the USDA NRCS Petaluma Field Office. Projects often include (but are not limited to): irrigation system control and automation, soil moisture monitoring, flow meters and weather station implementations.

If you have a vineyard sensing and/or automation project in mind, AV will help build project specifications and install/support the system once accepted. We want to see funding go towards vineyards in the North Coast. 

Email paul@advancedvit.com or call us at (707) 540-2704 to discuss potential projects or find out more information about this federal funding opportunity.
