Magazines

Michigan State University Extension - Publications

Note: some MSUE publications may be freely downloaded.
Many of them have a large number of color photos that take
a bit of time to download if you don't have high speed
Internet. Color printing is costly as well. For the meager cost,
ordering rather than downloading is the recommended
option.

All documents listed below can be found using the
publications link provided.

Michigan State University Extension - DVD's

"DVD021 - Pruning Grapes"

This DVD comes in English and Spanish. It's a little costly
for the amount of content. However, if you know nothing
about pruning grapevines you may want to consider it. It
may work well for training staff members as well.

Excellent field
guide. The
pages are semi
waterproof.
We
recommend it
as a must buy!
