That must be for Central Valley grapes.... Up here in Sonoma County
they're all pristine LMAO.

Does seem a bit of exaggeration.... I only get 2lbs of dirt, 49 wasps,
308 ants, 7 leaf hoppers, 545 earwigs, 62 hairs of hare, 6 dozen grape
leaves, 836 weed seeds with attached 'wings' and half a pound of bird
droppings, plus or minus a few.

I guess we're pretty lucky. grin

On average, a ton of California wine grapes contains seven pounds of

dirt,

one mouse nest, 247 bees, 198 wasps, 1,014 earwigs, 1,833 ants, 10,899

leaf

hoppers and four pounds of bird droppings, more or less. Besides the

above

materials, the waxy coating on grapes contains a variety of

microorganisms.


I hope you made that up.
