Field Day season opener at Hyslop 🌾❤️🌱Thank you to @OSUAgSci, @USDA_ARS, all the research teams, and organizers for a fab day of plot tours in the sun ☀️🌾❤️

To all the losers who chuck beer bottles on country roads: Broken glass, especially clear, will end up in the food system. What’s worse: if glass is detected in the lot, farmers can lose their entire contract with the processor 🌾🌱🥕🌽🥔

My dear cousins, Don & Maryanne Wirth, keynote speakers @ PNW Direct Seed Assn meeting today. I learned so much about integrating #covercrop practices, intercropping, grazing, and “always take a shovel when walking fields to see what is going on down below”saddlebutte.com

I’m no cowgirl, but @OCA_ORcattle sure know how to make a gal feel welcome ❤️🌾🚜

#covercrop report from the @USDA_ARS @OSUCBARC Resilient Dryland Farming Appropriation. Running a cover crop trial in an epic drought year is no joke, here is what we learned🚜🌾…u-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/blogs.dir/2823…

Found a wonderful dog at @OSUCBARC today. Contact me if this sweetie is yours! @WallaWallaDogs @PAWSPendletonOR

@FarmsStarvation Unfortunately the water was extensive enough that this would have left us with just one plot for many of the varieties. If you would like to see the report, I can send it over- Colorado lines had a good year.

@ryan_graebner You couldn't weed out the watered plots from the non water ones

Variety testing reports for all of our winter winter sites except Klamath Falls are now online- please let me know if you have any questions. cropandsoil.oregonstate.edu/wheat/variety-…

Just harvested our last 2021 trial!

Quick update: the top winter barley in our Pendleton trial (Alba) still out-yielded the top winter wheat (LSC Shine) 5,107 lbs/acre to 4,680 lbs/acre. Weed control was weaker in the barley than the wheat due to fewer herbicide options.

Harvested our Pendleton winter barley trial today! Yields seemed to run just over 2 tons: a little disappointing, but we will see how that compares to the adjacent winter wheat in a few weeks.

Just posted our first variety testing reports for the season online (from Pendleton, Lexington, Hermiston, and Moro). Similar to last year, except we no longer have a separate Clearfield report, and we included multi-year summaries in the disease report. cropandsoil.oregonstate.edu/wheat/variety-…

Limited evidence that #wheat & #barley have the capacity to compensate for effects of Fusarium crown rot. New @AGEjournal pub, with Morrow County-specific data. #RStats code by @ciannabp 🚜Stubble ratings may be necessary to quantify this tricky disease acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10…

@C_HHagerty I have never learned so much about farming in a single chairlift ride!

Got a lap in with Eric Nelson, owner/operator of Nelson Grade Organics- one of very few dryland #organic producers in Umatilla Co.... farming and skiing... they just go together 🚜❤️🌾⛷

Pendleton winter trial’s coming up nicely!

WAY TO GO KYLE! 🌾🚜🐄❤️

Lots of weather discussions with the @OSUCBARC Liaison Committee. This upcoming webinar may be of interest to many @orwheat producers. ❄️☁️🌧☀️🌤❤️🌾
