Lodi,CA — More than 100 new barn owl nest boxes will be placed in Lodi vineyards as a result of a $25,000 grant from Pacific Gas & Electric Co. (PG&E) to assist grape-growers in removing existing boxes from utility poles. The new boxes are made from more durable plastic and designed by barn owl researcher Mark Browning, who gave a presentation and answered questions about using barn owls for natural rodent control and integrated pest management (IPM) at a Lodi Winegrape Commission (LWC) grower education meeting Tuesda
