What are rootstock trials, and why are they important for your grape-growing operation? Listen in as I have a discussion with Dr. Gill Giese from the College of Agriculture at Arkansas State University on the latest findings in rootstock trials and what they mean for vineyards today and in the future.  In this episode, Gill and I talk about the results of the rootstock trials conducted in New Mexico and how they can impact wine growing in the region and elsewhere. We discuss the importance of cold hardiness and phylloxera resistance and how rootstocks can be created to address climate change issues and many other factors. Listen in to learn about the findings of the research and what they mean for your vineyard. In this episode, you will hear: What rootstocks are and where they originated. The many environments that rootstocks can grow in due to crossbreeding and adaptation. Why we need to continue to trial and develop rootstocks. Some of the surprising things Gill learned during his research. The future of rootstock development. Tips for growers on where to start and how to select their rootstocks.

Retired Surry Community College educator Christina Connell. DAVID FORD/WFDD In the midst of a pandemic and highly charged election season, being able to distinguish between truth and fiction is critically important. But doing so has become increasingly difficult with the explosion of digital media, and countless news platforms to choose from. WFDD listener and retired Surry Community College educator Christina Connell says understanding an age-old method of misleading people may help. “Could you find someone, perhaps an expert, who can present, explain, give examples of several logical fallacies?” she asks. “I believe it would be very instructive to help your listeners understand that these techniques can be used to deflect from truth.”  Simply put, logical fallacies are errors in reasoning; the ideas might be arranged correctly, but the content’s off-kilter. There are lots of different kinds: false dichotomy, equivocation, and straw man, just to name a few. UNC-Greensboro Communication Studies Professor Roy Schwartzman. Photo courtesy of Roy Schwartzman. To help navigate through them, WFDD’s David Ford reached out to UNC-Greensboro Communication Studies Professor Roy Schwartzman.  Interview Highlights On red herrings: The easiest way to remember what the fallacy is, is to think of the literal red herring, which is a very spicy and rather odiferous fish. The only thing that you start paying attention to is that strongly smelling fish and all of your focus is on dealing with that fish, and you totally get sidetracked from enjoying your meal. And that is exactly what a red herring fallacy does. It introduces something that usually has a strong emotional reaction, positive or negative, and throws people off. And red herrings are very common when you're talking about public health issues. For example, people will talk about something to do with a disease such as the coronavirus and risk factors. And someone will say, "Well, no, I'm not going to do any of these sorts of things despite the health evidence, despite the arguments for why we should try to avoid unnecessary contact and travel and things like that. Because my grandpappy lived to the ripe old age of 120 and he never paid attention to hygiene. And he was touching his face all the time. He was eating garbage foods. He didn't pay attention to anything they're asking us to pay attention to. And he was perfectly happy and healthy." Now, all of that is possibly quite true. But the question is, does that actually refute the medical evidence about transmission of coronavirus? And the answer is it has nothing whatsoever to do with it. But it's very vivid and very memorable. So, people start arguing about, well, something to do with your grandpappy and the 1918 flu and now all of a sudden, we're not talking about coronavirus anymore.  On post hoc fallacy:  The full name being post hoc, ergo propter hoc, which is the Latin for "after which, therefore, because of which," the idea that simply because one thing comes before another, it causes it, or if one thing comes after another, then it is the direct result of that one thing. Something like, "You know what? We quarantined everyone wearing blue shoes. And sure enough, immediately after that happened, we found that the coronavirus infection rates dramatically declined. Therefore, clearly, blue shoes are extraordinarily dangerous. And it was a brilliant strategy to concentrate on segregating people with blue shoes from the rest of the population."  It may well be true, of course, that both of those things happened, but that does not necessarily mean that one is the direct cause of the other. And you're going to run into these statements a lot, particularly with who tries to take credit for whether this gets better or worse in the short term. So, you know, if we find a spike in the infection rates, in the morbidity mortality rates, everyone is going to try to point the finger at someone or something else to blame for it — usually with minimal evidence. And if things improve, then everyone will be scrambling to say, "Well, it was because of something I did, or people on my side did." And I guarantee you will hear this coming from every corner of the political room as this thing runs its course.  EDITOR'S NOTE: This transcript was lightly edited for clarity.     Story does not include AP content #coronavirus #logical fallacies #red herring #post hoc fallacy #roy schwartzman #uncg Health & Safety Normal Tweet

Project E2, which began as a program solely for educators, has been enhanced to include students. Each month student/teacher teams from a given cluster from each high school visited the corresponding area at Surry Community College and a business/industry in the area. Students and teachers were able to see the educational opportunities available at SCC first-hand, as well as the employment opportunities available in the two-county area.
