From a ranch kid who dreamed of having a tractor to a professor with a miniature tractor collection in his office. It is a fun reminder that passions start early and never really leave us. 🚜🌱 #AgJourney #LSUAgCenter #JohnDeere

Excited to share that I’m now officially a Certified Crop Adviser (CCA)! Looking forward to continuing to support farmers and sustainable agriculture across Louisiana. 🌱 @CCASoundAdvice #CCA #Louisiana #Agronomy

Last Friday, I delivered an agents training at Hammond REC. The talk took place in this building, which instantly brought back childhood memories. It resembles the old houses from my hometown, many of which, sadly, no longer stand. A bittersweet reminder of where I come from.#LSU

A couple of weeks ago I attended my first International Symposium on #Soil and #PlantAnalysis! 🌱 Great talks, technical tours across NC agriculture, and amazing networking with scientists from around the world. Proud to be part of this global plant and #soilscience community! 🌍

This week I attended the 115th Rice Field Day at the LSU Rice Research Station: one of the oldest research stations in the country and the birthplace of #Clearfield (CL) #rice technology. A great legacy of innovation in #Louisiana agriculture! #RiceResearch #LSUAgCenter

Beans in the ground! #soybeans #LSU #LSUAgCenter #soilscience

Today I spoke about how improper #GrazingManagement affects #SoilHealth at the #Louisiana #Cattlemen’s Association Health Summit. It was a great opportunity to talk with producers and share insights on best management practices. #Extension #SoilFertility #LSU #LSUAgCenter

Kicking off my very first trial as an Assistant Professor! This study, in collaboration with Dr. Castro at Dean Lee REC, will evaluate the effects of #poultrylitter on #soybean yield and #soilhealth. #LSU #soilfertility #soilscience

Today, Dr. @CongliangZhou and I attended the #Wheat and #Oat Field Day in Chase and Winnsboro, LA. Great event organized by Dr. @NoahDDeWitt! #LSU #LSUAgCenter #Extension

Last Friday I visited my wife’s experiment at the #UniversityofFlorida Hastings Ag Extension Center (Dr. Zotarelli Lab). Great #research underway to refine #phosphorus recommendations for #potatoes in #Florida! #soilscience

Yesterday, I presented on strategies to improve #soilfertility in #citrus groves. Great discussions with producers, insightful presentations, and of course, amazing local #Louisiana food for lunch! #LSUAgCenter #extension

Last Tuesday I presented about #soilhealth on crop fields and #pastures and #nutrientmanagement on #corn at the Catahoula Parish. Lots of miles covered this week… #LSU #LSUAgCenter #extension #soilscience

I don’t usually share personal things here, but this one’s worth it—two months ago, I #married my #best #friend! Another #farm kid with a passion for #agriculture, applied #research and #extension. Feeling truly blessed!
