Yesterday was all about data collection and prep, and today we’re ready to harvest the TAPS competition! Stay tuned for updates throughout the process (but bear with us as we collect data and report back to the teams—we are out in the field and replicated plot work takes time). There are some notable differences in the field! #TAPS2024 #HarvestTime #DataDrivenAg #taps

Finally, we're ending the day with a big announcement: we're excited to bring @KSUTAPS to Garden City next year! R. Tuttle is sharing an update of the 2024 KSU-TAPS competition and early details for the 2025 TAPS competition. Learn more at https://t.co/kcB5q7M8e5

We were fortunate to plant the first TAPS sprinkler-irrigated corn in the ground at the NWREC in excellent moisture!

Next, install the TAPS technology and prepare for planting dates #2 and #3.

We're grateful to everyone who's helped to make this first planting a success!

Each of the 34 TAPS teams has four randomized plots in the field to be planted with their hybrid seed of choice. Plus there are bulk acres dividing the plots and alleyways for walking. Seed must be cleaned out between each plot planting and the fantastic TAPS team makes it look easy!

#plant24 #teamwork #ksutaps

[KSU-TAPS @KSUTAPS]

The planter was ready. We’d checked the plot maps twice, but Mother Nature had different plans! 🌱 The soil is too wet to plant today, but we can’t be mad about the moisture, though, every drop counts! #ksutaps #plant24 #wkrec
