Karl Mohr spent the last 13 years in Oregon vineyards as a crew worker, vit-tech, and viticulturist. An informal interest in botany, herbology, plant propagation, organic farming, and permaculture was married to a deep affinity for wine. In his role as a viticulturist, Karl has implemented and explored novel approaches to pest control, vineyard nutrition, cover cropping, crop estimation, irrigation, and vine disease monitoring and treatment. Additionally, Karl continues to investigate no-till farming, regenerative practices, integration of the wildscape into the vineyard, alternative varieties for Oregon, Biodynamic farming, and bio-pest control.

After receiving a B.A. from Ohio University in spanish, Karl relocated to Salem, Oregon and obtained an A.S. in Vineyard Management from Chemeketa Community College where he later taught classes. His involvement in the industry includes the OWB Research Committee, Adopt-a-Researcher Program, LIVE, Willamette Valley Tech Committee, and North Valley Biodynamic Group.
