A day working in the Vineyard...and what's up with the new Side By Side?

What happens here

Using sharp pruning shears, carefully cut each fruiting spur so that only two healthy buds remain. Make the cut just beyond the second bud. This technique encourages the vine to focus its energy on a limited number of buds, promoting larger fruit size and better overall yield. Ensure your cuts are clean and precise to minimize stress on the vine. The video shows how to distinguish old, unproductive wood from desirable sections that will yield fruit.

Goal: Cut back each fruiting spur, leaving only two buds, to concentrate the vine's energy into producing large, healthy muscadine berries.
