A huge Thank You to all of the agencies, well drillers and power companies working behind the scenes to get all of the pieces of TPNRD Water Data Program put together. If power companies share info, growers who are signed up should see water data as soon as irrigation begins!

Planting 27 "farms" with 3 replicated plots each is quite the process! The 2020 TAPS sprinkler corn competition's chosen hybrids are in the ground. Thanks to all of the hybrid sponsors for donating the selected varieties!

NEW PUB "Cover crop effects on soil carbon dioxide emissions in a semiarid cropping system."

Objectives: improve soil health, reduce CO2–C emissions from cover crop residue, and synchronize N release from the residue with winter wheat N demand.

Much of Nebraska saw snow today. While we appreciate the moisture, maybe not the cold that came with it. Share your favorite snow pictures from today's storm!
