About the Presenters…

Justin Jackson began his career in wine working under Dr. Justin Scheiner at Texas A&M evaluating cultivars for suitability to the Texas climate. He then went on to study viticulture under Dr. Justine Vanden Heuvel at Cornell where he obtained his Master’s researching alternative vineyard management practices. He is currently the Sustainability Program Manager for the New York Wine & Grape Foundation.

Tim Martinson has been working on Sustainable practices for vineyards since starting his extension career in 1997. One of his first tasks was to produce a series of Agricultural Environmental Management worksheets for vineyards, in cooperation with the Yates County Soil and Water Conservation District. A few years later, they expanded the worksheets into the VineBalance NY Guide to Sustainable Vineyard Practices workbook.
