@WheatInnovation @wheatsd @SDStateCAFES My condolences! Looked like a great site.

This is what is left when lightning strikes. Have a safe harvest everyone🙏👍 #onida @wheatsd @SDStateCAFES 😭

The 2025 Forage Variety Trial results from Comanche County are now posted.

@clayton_seaman @txresearch All good! The entomology greenhouse wasn’t so lucky.

@J_SBaker @txresearch Hope the heaters are working!

Beautiful artwork in the @txresearch wheat greenhouses in Bushland, TX this chilly morning

@LucasAHaag Very true. Someone kept outbidding us, we were curious who it was

@J_SBaker They sold it off in several batches on PurpleWave auction. What a sad ending to that story and a waste of talent and resources.

If I'm not going to win an auction I'm grateful to lose by such a huge amount so I don't have to wonder "what if I hit it one more time". Someone still got a hell of a deal. I fell like I should pay $5 of his buyers premium for all the fun I had dreaming about it.

@Syd_Graham @WheatInitiative @WheatCAP Thanks to you and @amandawheatgene for saving my life with ibuprofen on the field tour!

I was thrilled to get the opportunity to attend #IWC2024Perth this past month thanks to @WheatInitiative! I presented some of my @WheatCAP research, connected with wheat researchers worldwide, and of course saw some Kangaroos!

Very grateful for the support from @WheatInitiative and @tamusoilcrop to share our team’s research with scientists from around the globe and attend the @globalrust Women in Leadership breakfast at #IWC2024Perth. It was the experience of a lifetime!

And that’s a wrap! What a fantastic Early Career Researcher super-session #IWC2024Perth highlighting the wheat stars & science of the future 🌾 💫

@QShieldknight Love tarantula season!

We’re 2 weeks out! Excited to discuss UAS and plant breeding, and pinch-hit for @QingwuXue on drought tolerance traits in TAM 111 and 112. Grateful to @tamusoilcrop for the travel scholarship and @IWYP_wheat for the registration scholarship!

@Wheat_MaryG @TAMWheat @AibrahimAmir @HighPlainWheat Scheduling prelims during harvest was… something!

@J_SBaker @TAMWheat @AibrahimAmir @HighPlainWheat Yay!! Congratulations.

Crossed a line yesterday… from PhD student to PhD candidate!

Dumas yields are well above 100. Had a 152 bushel come up on the yield monitor in the Advanced yield trial.

Northwestern TX Panhandle variety trial plot tour on March 6th. Limited to full irrigation

@wheat_Rima @TexasWheat @TAMWheat @HighPlainWheat @TXPanAg @QingwuXue @TXSmallGrains @AibrahimAmir @txresearch @txextension Thank you Rima! There was great jubilation when I learned one of our candidates overflowed its bag. Yesterday morning Jackie, Jason, and I discussed its demise based on its ugliness… but you don’t have to be pretty to be a bin buster!

The best day of our year: Bushland irrigated harvest! We are getting some yields upwards of 120 bu/a, overflowing some sample bags.

@OSU_NPK 😬

Not quite the way we wanted to wrap up wheat harvest with this rig but all are ok and harvest rolls on. Webbles Wooble, and this one will fall down.

@CSUwheat Have speaker, will travel!

Four more field days starting tomorrow in Akron, and then Julesburg, Orchard, and Roggen on Wednesday. See you there!

@TXSmallGrains Chillicothe, April 4, 2024. We intentionally let the rust go. Farmer across the fence line applied fungicide.

Trial results from Chillicothe are now posted. Disease pressure, especially stripe rust, was very high at this location. @J_SBaker

And here it is, in yield heat map format. TX18DH313 was the lone UVTRP entry to yield well under extreme Yr pressure.
