The RMA\u2019s determination referenced a publication, \u201cWater Management for Grapevines,\u201d to support the claimed water requirement for the crop. The RMA indicated that the water requirement for a mature vineyard varies from 22 to 28 inches, depending on canopy size, and that winter rainfall provides three to six inches toward this requirement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The complaint states that AgriSompo North America sent another letter on April 22, 2024, denying the claim for failure to follow good farming practices and detailing Mid-Valley\u2019s right to request a Good Farming Practice (GFP) determination from the RMA.
