Last year the survey results indicated the value of New England grown grapes sold in 2014 to be $4.2 million. We were able to publish some State estimates but limited response for some States didn\u2019t allow us to do so. The results were published in the 2015 New England End of Season Fruit and Vegetable Yield and Price Report, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nass.usda.gov\/Statistics_by_State\/New_England_includes\/Publications\/Current_News_Release\/2016\/eos2016.pdf\"> https:\/\/www.nass.usda.gov\/Statistics_by_State\/New_England_includes\/Publications\/Current_News_Release\/2016\/eos2016.pdf<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m asking for your help to encourage grape producers to respond. We will mailed the questionnaires this week and will be phoning those that do not respond around mid-February.<\/p>\n<p>Please contact me if you have any questions.<\/p>\n<p>Gary R.
