It is so much fun at Martin County Soil and Water Conservation Environmental Field day! @CropAndSoil @NCExtension @NCStateCALS

I am having a great time in Coastal Envirothon Competition at Weyerhaeuser's Cool Springs Environmental Education Center, New Bern, North Carolina. We are focused on Soils and Land Management. @NCStateCALS @CropAndSoil @NCExtension

[Ekrem ÖZLÜ, Ph.D. @ekremozlu]

I had a great time in western North Carolina today talking about “Best practices for mitigating impacts of flood deposits.”. Specific guidelines for soil management after hurricane Helene were delivered. @CropAndSoil @NCExtension @NCStateCALS

NC State qualified for national soil judging last week. I didn’t get to bed until 3 am last Friday, hence the late tweet. We had the #1, 3, and 4 judgers. Congrats to the team!

The Department of Soil Science has a new name — the Department of Soil and Environmental Sciences. This change is indicative of their expanded commitment to the broader environmental challenges that intersect with soil science. @DepartmentSoil

Hard times make it clear who is the best friend for us. Here are pictures taken just a few minutes ago from tillage plots @infoCEFS showing drought stress for corn in conventional tillage while no-till helps water conservation. @NCExtension @CropAndSoil

Soil pit is ready for today’s agent training at Tidewater Research Station @CropAndSoil

[Al Wood @aewood73]

Last night’s meetng wraps up @pasquotankCES producer meeting season. Great info by @NCStateWeedSci on herbicide resistant weeds mgt & Dr Ozlu cover crops. That’s @NCExtension mission, providing researched based info on issues people are confronted w/. Now see if adopted.

[NC State Crop & Soil Sciences @CropAndSoil]

Can grazing cover crops jumpstart soil health for new organic farms? @ekremozlu & 4 partner groups will investigate in a new NIFA-funded study.

And their findings are heading to a surprisingly young audience via school curriculum.

Congratulations to @ncsoybeans supported graduate student of @NCState_SM - @CropAndSoil, @CarleeEpting won @SSSA_soils - Soil and Environmental Quality Division student competition. She presented her work related to tillage managements in eastern NC. @NCStateCALS #ACSmtg

[NC State Soil Health and Management Lab @NCState_SM]

First results from Soil Health and Management Program, @CropAndSoil were presented at @ASA_CSSA_SSSA and @SSSA_soils meeting, #ACSmtg. These works were supported by @ncsoybeans and @NCCornGrowers @NCStateCALS

Soil sampling was great early morning with students at @infoCEFS . We have capacity of conducting soil samples from each 2 inches up to 1 meter deep in profile. Interesting soils hard pan developments are common in coastal plain. @CropAndSoil @NCExtension

[NC State Soil Health and Management Lab @NCState_SM]

From todays sampling, @NCState_SM started active research and extension with conservation management impacts on soil health and compaction in Sandy soils of Pender county @CropAndSoil
