Wheat Tours: like a field trip, but for farmers and ag folks who want an educational excuse to hang with their friends and look at wheat varieties. Snacks likely, sunscreen recommended. 👉go.unl.edu/wheat-tours

McFadden Symposium 2025 underway in Lincoln, NE

Super glad to get to work with Vini, and proud of him for earning this honor

And some biochemistry work with Dr. Arvind Dubey

If you’re in Sidney today and you’re not at the HPAL Advisory Board Meeting, you’re missing out. Mr @zuppavinicius , PhD candidate with @true_bug @NE_DrylandCrops @Huskerwheat and me, is presenting his thesis work on wheat stem sawfly agronomics.

@gpjohnson1 @ChrisCullan1 Thank you all! I’m a pretty lucky gal to get to do the kind of work I do. And so glad to get to hang with fantastic folks like Chris!

It was an honor to present the Distinguished Service award on behalf of the Nebraska Crop Improvement Association to Dr. Amanda Easterly ⁦@AC_Easterly⁩ congratulations and well deserved.

GRAD STUDENTS: AGRO896 Field Research: Design, Data Mgnt, Analysis & Reporting (2 credits) is an 8-week online course that addresses the practical needs of field experimentation, from data mgmt to mixed models. Contact the instructors to pre-register. #UNL @UNL_CASNR @AC_Easterly

Last call for our 2025 winter wheat and winter annual forage trials! We’d love to see how your best genetics perform in the Good Life. Let @NE_DrylandCrops or I know if you need an entry form or have questions

@true_bug Yay!

Powered up!

2024 wheat variety reports from the @UNLVarietyTest team are up on the @UNL_CropWatch website! @NE_DrylandCrops and I are super lucky to have a rockstar team who worked hard to get the harvest completed!

@ChrisCullan1 @Huskerwheat All thanks to you for sharing space with us and to the talented Mr. Geu—research manager extraordinaire!

⁦@AC_Easterly⁩ ⁦@Huskerwheat⁩ taking the variety trial out today.

@LucasAHaag Happy to help with curriculum development—exam 2 can be troubleshooting an SRES planter

I'm thinking I could start offering a problems class for graduate students, we'll call it "Intro to Experiment Station Management"

We still try to visit Kylie every time we are in Aurora for checkups, as well as the other nurses that helped Marian arrive safely and grow strong enough to come home!

The NICU is a scary place, but the nurses are an incredible force for babies and their families: fiercely protective of their patients, befriending older siblings, providing strength to parents.

Not something I often do, but putting this link here: secure.childrenscoloradofoundation.org/site/TR/Courag… Kylie was one of Marian’s nurses at @ChildrensColo and is riding the 2024 Courage Classic in her honor.

Survived wheat field days followed by a birthday celebration for Viv and a round of appointments for Marian. I’ll be back in the office next week, I promise!

Many thanks to @ChrisCullan1 @TenbenselTroy for hosting our tours yesterday and today! And providing us with awesome fields to test wheat varieties!

Whirlwind couple of days for @NE_DrylandCrops and the @UNLVarietyTest team.
