@ploutzenhiser @sallyjd7 @farmerjim13 My guess would be stagonospora or septoria nodorum glume blotch. Fungal. Scab is almost always a bleaching of the head.

@TexAgs Aggie players fought hard and made plays to have a chance - Aggie coaches failed miserably.

@AgronJenV @RicksRambles Pickle beers when done right are 👌🏽

@j_lew_21 @harkness_sean @coloradowheat Within the next year, we will have it in multiple CSU genetic backgrounds and be able to start testing its efficacy. It is supposed to work in spring wheat at low yield levels, but winter wheat is a different ballgame. It’s not a silver bullet, but 5 bushels is 5 bushels.

@JRutkoski Genetically or logistically?

[Esten Mason @CSUwheat]

@DrSethMurray Yeah it sucks now. Used to be a place for great information when I had in locked into science and ag only and now it’s wading through a cesspool of disinformation - just like its new owner intended.

@LynnSosnoskie I think you should just put this handwritten document in there and call it good. 💯 😁

@szintri Wheat is out of this world.

@stats_feed I am unfollowing your page. Stats don’t have an agenda.

@farmerjim13 I’ve never cut sorghum but I’ve heard it’s not the most enjoyable experience.

[Esten Mason @CSUwheat]

@ArkansasTurf Whatcha been doing for 40 years?

[Esten Mason @CSUwheat]

@jcmerts It’s October for f’s sake.

@sallyjd7 My team finishes wheat planting before we start harvesting corn every year.

@mwallenstein @StevenDAllison A plant breeding program can drown in diversity if not too careful!

@GevartoskyRaysa @JRutkoski @LBMunaro Go time!

Hanging with some mates this morning.

@DrSethMurray Wowzas, nice job my man!

[Esten Mason @CSUwheat]

@ArkAgResearch @USDA_NIFA @AginArk @AgIsAmerica @UAFruitBreeding is a rockstar!

[Esten Mason @CSUwheat]

@farmerjim13 @sallyjd7 You two are cute.

@TexAgs New coaching staff, same old problems. It’s like Groundhog Day and every time we think it’s going to be different when really we all knew exactly how this game would play out.
