Where ? In Mendocino they allowed 5 acres of forest to be cut for grapes.

So the corporations. Bought up hundreds of adjoining 5 acres plots. Then Clear Cut them for Wine grapes.

Home owners can also grow, so many bought their 5 acres, cleared it and planted grapes. After a few years so many grape growers brought the Price of Grapes down so low it was no longer profitable...
