Team Sweet’s motto:
“Adapt and overcome”
Shoot bags make great water cups when you leave your water bottle at the other end of the field!

🌽 'Tis the season for sweet corn! Learn what it takes to infuse this Midwest staple with so much sweetness from @UWMadAgronomy's Bill Tracy. In this University Place episode, Tracy discusses plant breeding technology & his work to breed better sweet corn. https://t.co/6ZpJF6xefv

Successful fence construction today at Arlington ARS. Hopefully it keeps the only sweet corn plot in this area safe from those pesky raccoons. @Real_Team_Sweet

I went old school today to plant the irrigation alleys with barley. Will probably have to irrigate before the barley is up 👎

The field book says “Colorful Corn” which I like. If you are going for a a more flashy name then “Amaizingly Magenta”!

Nothing like a new tractor to put a smile on your face during Sweet Corn evaluation. Thanks to @Case_IH and Ritchie Implement for supplying @UWMadisonCALS with this beauty. #TeamSweet #RedPower

[Cathleen McCluskey @Cat_McCluskey]

Sweet corn evaluations are underway with @BillTracy1 at @Real_Team_Sweet. Thankful to be learning from one of the masters. Best way to rate flavor? Taste every ear!
