We’re partnering with Enid Brewery for a limited-edition amber ale made with WestBred Wheat. It won’t be in stores but reply below to vote and help us pick a can design, and you might just toast with us. 🌾🍻 @sidwellstrategies #beer #wheat

Got the chance to appreciate genetic diversity in cucurbits at the local pumpkin patch 🤓

Great first day at @NAPlantBreeders 2022! Took a break from wheat and saw the history of corn, it was so cool to see teosinte in the field (far left) 🌽

@seifertnascar48 You too? This was my first time in western ND. I thought it was beautiful. Loved the countryside, loved the people. Just always scared I was going to run out of gas 😂

@NSwheat It will grow on you. Love North Dakota

Oh no! Am I getting a soft spot for North Dakota?! 😲 Or am I just a sucker for a pretty wheat field 🤔

Taken last week in the Palouse. It just doesn't get better than this 💚

I couldn't get married without having wheat at the wedding! Happy to be Dr. Dill now 🌾

@clubwheat I miss the hills so much 🥹

Great day in the field after snow finally gone. Visited many locations but Dayton with windmills was most scenic. Up high. Many windmills but also beautiful Palouse.

@WheatTrials @clubwheat @wsuwheat Thank you so much!! ❤️ You are one of the main reasons why I did it! Can't thank you enough 🙂

@NSwheat @clubwheat @wsuwheat Well done. From the moment you walked into my office I knew this day would come. Congrats to you.

PhDone!! Officially Dr. Strauss and it feels so good! Thank you @clubwheat @wsuwheat, Mike Puphrey, and Scot Hulbert 😁

Check out this read on my incredible PhD advisor 🤩

@stephsjoberg @2BJust That's so pretty 🤩 but that's a bad thing, right? Lol

@2BJust Found this today!

Wow! Concentric circular lesions are a common expression of TSWV infection, but I’ve never seen them interacting with anthocyanins (purple pigments) like this before.

@WheatTrials @CSUwheat I have very good memories from those summers. One time we almost had a cave built in headrow mountain!

@NSwheat @CSUwheat You saw one or two of those here huh.

We are out of the field - first field season in Colorado is in the books and it’s been a glorious whirlwind of a time. What a great team to make this happen! Now T-minus 35 days to turn this thing around for planting.

@seifertnascar48 @CSUwheat If it means a free trip to CO, sign me up! 😏

@NSwheat @CSUwheat When can you start thrashing?

@CSUwheat Also need to remember to alternate which arm you shake the can with to avoid uneven arm muscles 💪

@NSwheat I’ve got a sore pointer finger and have been wearing the same clothes in the field for the last two weeks (washed over the weekend).

It's always a good day when I get to spray some wheat 😁

@seifertnascar48 🤣 first year in a while I haven't seen much rust in the wheat, so ya! I was thinking something didn't look right, needed some orange coloring added. The brand name is just a bonus!

@NSwheat Spraying it with rust? 😂
