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 😂

[Nikayla Strauss, PhD @NSwheat]

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

[Nikayla Strauss, PhD @NSwheat]

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

[Nikayla Strauss, PhD @NSwheat]

I couldn't get married without having wheat at the wedding!

Happy to be Dr. Dill now 🌾

Castella wheat has excellent milling and baking properties - including superior sponge cake volume - and will increase the quality of the club wheat crop in the PNW https://t.co/1N5F0KV3rB #OpenAccess #wheatbreeding @USDA_ARS @WSUPullman @wsucahnrs

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

[Nikayla Strauss, PhD @NSwheat]

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

[Nikayla Strauss, PhD @NSwheat]

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

[Nikayla Strauss, PhD @NSwheat]

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

[Nikayla Strauss, PhD @NSwheat]

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

[Nikayla Strauss, PhD @NSwheat]

@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!
