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. 👉https://t.co/ngD9b1imlH

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!

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

[Amanda Easterly @AC_Easterly]

@true_bug Yay!

[Amanda Easterly @AC_Easterly]

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!

[Amanda Easterly @AC_Easterly]

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

[Amanda Easterly @AC_Easterly]

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

[Amanda Easterly @AC_Easterly]

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!

[Amanda Easterly @AC_Easterly]

Not something I often do, but putting this link here: https://t.co/gdlyYbaqn1

Kylie was one of Marian’s nurses at @ChildrensColo and is riding the 2024 Courage Classic in her honor.

[Amanda Easterly @AC_Easterly]

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.

[Amanda Easterly @AC_Easterly]

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!

[Amanda Easterly @AC_Easterly]

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

[Amanda Easterly @AC_Easterly]

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