Grape project a success for Caney families
Three families at Caney show the grape growing project can survive with 20 residents in cramped trailers. Sandy Nichols, Phillip Conklin, and Jim Dodd with eight, and others, have built a vineyard, installed power lines, and plan markets in Oklahoma or Arkansas. The effort, begun with OEO support, faced winter hardship but proofs of hardy vines and a hopeful outlook remain, with potential for year round production via greenhouse ideas.
