NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) – Nebraska vineyards are rushing to harvest the grapes before high temperatures make them too ripe. KNOP-TV in North Platte says vineyards across the state are bringing in the grapes, which must be picked by hand. And, the heat isn’t making it easy. Connie Brittan is the winemaker at Feather River Vineyards near North Platte. She says the heat is good for later grapes, but it’s really stressing the early grapes, and they’re rushing to get finished. Brittan told KNOP on Tuesday that they hoped finish 8 rows, but it will take four workers per row about six hours to get it done. Their season is over at the end of September.
