Fieldwork begins in January with pruning and proceeds to tying and leafing. If the company isn’t doing much capitol development (preparing new vineyards or replanting old vineyards), then there is usually a short work stoppage. Workers will resume work as the vines show more growth and need more canopy management and wires moved.

Workers will occasionally (less than 20 percent of time) perform vineyard weeding using shovels over 4 ft in length. The employer will provide training, gloves, and knee pads in prevention of work-related injuries at no cost to workers.
