Got it a little late but pretty proud of this piece of paper. It's not just a job when you are passionate about what you do. One of my best decisions was coming to work for @IowaNRCS! #helpingpeoplehelptheland

Should have a great rootworm discussion at the SE Research Farm’s summer field day tomorrow (7/7)! Went to dig roots for tomorrow and saw wind damage from last night, especially w/ our untreated check. Join us tomorrow at 1 pm to see/learn more! @erinwhodgson@ashleyn_dean
The jank arse mobile shade unit. Providing shade for the animals, fertilizing the soil, and concentrating hoof impact on weedy patches…mainly Canada Thistle. It had been here for less than 24hrs before I rolled it down the hill 20 ft.

20 years ago today I started as an intern for @IowaNRCS! I had no idea back then that an internship would turn into a career I am passionate about, that Iowa would become home to me, and that I would make amazing lifelong friendships. Glad they took a chance on this Illini girl.
Wonder Woman borrowed Barbie's tractor yesterday to farm. I need to have a chat with her about compaction and soil health. Time for a new conservation plan.
