@AvaVeith @billrosefdn Great work, Ava!

Successfully defended my master’s thesis today! Beyond thankful for my committee and their support every step of the way. Grateful for all the opportunities I’ve had as a master’s student at Virginia Tech and I’m excited to continue working on a Ph.D at Penn State!

Congrats to our friends at Roundstone Native Seed for this well deserved honor. The Seymours are leading important #conservation efforts in KY that are making an impact across the country, helping farmers improve soil health between planting seasons, communities return to their native landscape, & protecting ecosystems in their natural habitats. youtube.com/watch?v=q73hOC…

@jamierkennedy Yikes!

Gulp... The view today from the newly opened tee on 15 at East Lake. 220 yards to an island green.

@maria_turfdr I thought you might like that!

@FraserMelodee @PureSeed_RPMS Fantastic!

Been great brown patch weather! Gray leaf spot coming along. @PureSeed_RPMS

Anyone have a Pythium blight grass sample they can send me? Not looking for dead greens but maybe some active Pythium blight from the rough or small area. Let me know and I can provide shipping instructions. Looking to get a couple of isolates of the pathogen for a project! #research

@JJBenelli Pretty good trial for 8 June!

Checking in on the backyard check plot. Gray leaf spot enjoying life between the little white lines.

@johnsonsteve64 Oh Lordy!!

@MSStateAlumni In the summer of ‘82 I accidentally turned over a glass trophy case in the lobby of the union in front of about 500 other incoming freshmen. Keith Turnipseed, orientation director of some sort saved me from the janitorial staff who had to clean up the aftermath

What something oddly specific you remember about MSU orientation? 🧭

@JJBenelli Same here! It’s off and running!

Starting to feel like summer at the Benelli house.

@ecakitchin Congratulations! Great work!

So happy to have successfully defended my master’s thesis yesterday! These past two years at Virginia Tech have been an absolute blast. In fact, I’ve enjoyed myself so much I’ll be sticking around for even more! Next stop: Ph.D. 🤓🥳🤠

@CRoseFricker Awesome!

Happy 40 th anniversary to us!!

@BruceHospes Beautiful family, Bruce! Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

@RadioWyatt 💯 They are the best!!

Brandon Hardin and grounds crew, you the real heroes! 👀 👌🏼

@AUTurfFert Wow!

Stopped by my church today to restock the food pantry and was greeted by the efforts of a parishioner who is apparently going to attempt an Easter zoysiagrass miracle.

@MSStateAlumni @msstate Kelvin Hildreth

Name a random MSU basketball player (men or women) from when you were at @msstate. 🏀

@iTweetTurf @TPCSawgrass @PGATOURAgronomy That’s cool!

Nice touch on today’s cup for the Friday pin position on 17. #THEPLAYERS #BetterThanMost

@MSUextPlantLab @MSU_AG @maria_turfdr Great job, Maria! Well-deserved recognition of your important and impactful work!

Congratulations Dr. Maria Tomaso-Peterson on being recognized as a Distinguished Fellow in the ⁦@MSU_AG⁩ Dept.of Ag Science and Plant Protection in recognition of her significant contributions to plant pathology and her personal commitment to MSU! ⁦@maria_turfdr⁩

@VAturf @MSUTurfSchool Oh my goodness sakes! What a horrid typo! Very well-deserved recognition for Rodney! Hail State!

Awesome recognition for Rodney -- a well deserved award for a long time industry leader! But I am pretty sure his Turfgrass Management degree is from #hailstate @MSUTurfSchool & not that other school north of Starkville! 😉
