In the last 10 years or so it seems there is a trend to have vineyards everywhere possible. I have seen these things in the most unlikely places but maybe that is good. I was doing a job up in Pickens County on Burnt Mountain which is very steep rugged country and very hard to build on and by golly there is a sign for a vineyard. These things are popping up like daisies. And now the rage seems to be with growing marijuana. Georgia did pass a medical marijuana law, so I have begun to wonder if any of you fellas make money from vineyards or the new marijuana industry.
If so.....what do you do? What kind of service do you provide?
The local vineyards make most of their money holding tasting parties at $100+ per head and selling their wines at 5 times the price of a decent wine on your local supermarket shelf.
In Florida the local (illegal) pot farmers produce a much higher grade weed than the medical dispensaries provide and is about $150/oz less expensive as well. I know this because I read it on the internet. ???? ?ÿ
And do you market your services as a surveyor to them and make a beaucoup amount of money? That is what I am trying to figure out. Is there a market for surveyors in an industry that is going to grow?

here in the West, No. Farmers don't want to spend money on surveying.
Profits are volatile, one year there might be big $$$, but that must be saved... because Next year the crop could fail.
Type of crop makes no difference.
My wife and I used to collect wine glasses from various wineries/vineyards that we've visited. I even have one form the southernmost winery (at least that's what they claim) in the U.S., right outside Fort Myers, Florida. Sometimes we'll buy a bottle, sometimes we don't, depending on the taste. I am NOT a wine connoisseur, but I do know what I like and what I don't.
