Less than 5⃣0⃣% of students in my Crop Science class have direct crop production experience!

I want to give students more opportunities to interact with the "real world", so I started an "interview a farmer" assignment.

I need 5+ more farmers!
DM or comment if you're interested

Relay vs Double crop
Relay vs Monocrop

4.2 MG soybeans
Planted April 24 and July 2
All dryland plots

📍 Scandia, KS

@okaton_farm Last year’s results impressed us, we’ll see what happens this year!

[Rachel Cott @RachelVCott]

Last field of wheat is finally off! Storms laid it over and the soybeans kept right on growing, but the crew got it done today.

Soybeans with a little trim off the top, but they’ll be just fine. Big jump on the double crop here.

Even @steveconaway1 couldn’t argue with this meant-to-be plant purchase 🌽

@FreschlyJon Email and text will also be options, if they choose that!

*Reposts Appreciated*

Creating an activity in AGRON 120 where college students interview a farmer about crops they grow and why.

Many students have 0 ag contacts - would anyone here be interested in talking with them? They’d choose who to contact and reach out in early Nov.

[Rachel Cott @RachelVCott]

@panotiller Cool! What is your row spacing/configuration and wheat:soy ratio?

[Rachel Cott @RachelVCott]

Feel free to DM here or shoot an email to [email protected]

[Rachel Cott @RachelVCott]

I’d need your name, email and/or phone number, and state/county. All regions welcome (the more, the better)!

The questions I will give them to ask you will be short, simple, and non-personal. I just want them to interact with a farmer to get a sense of “reality”.

THANKS!
