The Environmental Soils class visited the State Fruit Experiment Station at Mountain Grove last evening in order to evaluate a potential vineyard site. Three soil pits were previously dug by Jeremy Emery, a field supervisor at the station. Tom DeWitt, a soils instructor at Missouri State, and Adam Coulter of the NRCS evaluated the soil situation with the class. The students will formulate recommendations concerning vineyard layout and soil modifications for the future planting.
