Dr. Chin-Feng Hwang and Missouri State University is hosting the North American Grape Breeders Conference this year. The group began their two day conference with a Welcome from Dr. Jim Baker, VP of Sponsored Research and International Programs followed by introductions and research presentations by Dr. Wenping Qiu and Dr. Hwang. Then the group divided up taking turns to tour the field and research area as well as the winery and distillery.

The tour ended with a delicious lunch!
