Thanks to the work of ARS scientists, we have the delicious peanut called “Contender” -- a Virginia-type peanut with high oleic fatty acids. Not only does it promote heart health, but it also extends the shelf life of peanut products. This peanut looks like a heavyweight against other peanut cultivars. https://t.co/fTYjNpKQyP

Did you see the special edition of USA Today that focused on agriculture? Bonus points if you can find ASABE's ad! #agriculture https://t.co/IShTbCfYcV
During #NationalEngineersWeek, meet Sherry Hunt, an ARS supervisory civil engineer at the Agroclimate and Hydraulic Engineering Research Unit in Stillwater, OK. Hunt's research on dams protects crops and the foods we eat every day!
ARS engineers in Stillwater, OK, are pioneering new technologies for effective dam repairs, ensuring dam safety and enhancing agricultural water management. Recently, they deployed advanced lake level monitoring instruments on Lake Carl Blackwell in Stillwater. This innovative technology allows them to closely monitor water levels, promoting sustainability for agricultural use. #NationalEngineersWeek
On #nationaldamsafteyawarnessday, watch ARS researchers at Stillwater, OK, perform a dam embankment test at their facility. The dam overtopping test concluded the 5th International Seminar on Dam Protections Against Overtopping at #oklahomastateuniversity. https://t.co/dR1mn4CoeS
There will never be another like Pete Rose! He battled his entire life, making it to the Big Leagues on determination and grit. He wanted to win every game and get 3 , no make that 4…no, 5 hits everyday. He won batting title because he had the desire and the goal. He wanted Ty Cobb’s record.
Will we ever see this again? 13 seasons of 190+ hits. 3,562 games played. 5,929 times on base. Rookie of the Year, All Star, Gold Glover, Silver Slugger, MVP and World Series Champion. A local kid from Cincinnati who became a King.
We were teammates, business partners and more importantly, in spite of what everyone thought, we were friends. I will miss him dearly.
NASA's "Hidden Figures" will be honored with Congressional Gold Medals at a ceremony Sept. 18 at the US Capitol. Medals will recognize Katherine Johnson, Christine Darden other women mathematicians and engineers who contributed to the early space program. https://t.co/5k7TFGlnz7
Sept. 18th ceremony in the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center’s Emancipation Hall will be held to present Congressional Gold Medals to 4 African American women known as NASA’s “Hidden Figures.” Resolution was unanimously approved by the House during its pro forma session today.
Key is excited to announce the nominees for the 2024 Robert M. Tobias Achievement Award! Please join us in congratulating the nominees and read more about them on the awards website: https://t.co/ahH4J0poaP
ARS’ Agroclimate and Hydraulic Engineering Research Unit works w/ partners to develop engineering tools, design guidance documents & computer software apps for monitoring, inspecting & rehabilitating earthen floodwater control dams in support of @USDA_NRCS. #DamSafety#BeDamAware
Do you live near a dam? Find out at the National Inventory of Dams. Find more information on how to prepare at Living with Dams at https://t.co/tYVP2itU9F.
#DamSafety#BeDamAware
Water falling over a dam creates strong circulating currents beneath its surface. These currents are highly aerated & can trap people & objects against the dam’s face, making them nearly impossible to escape. Find out more ways to stay safe at https://t.co/tYVP2itU9F. #BeDamAware
Today is National Dam Safety Awareness Day. The DAMTAGS team works to rehabilitate aging earthen dams across the country.
Scientists at @USDA_ARS work to create designs for the engineers @USDA_NRCS to maintain and update these structures.

#ICYMI: Big news in Woodward, OK! Today, USDA leaders & officials marked the completion of the modernization of the ARS Experiment Lake Dam. This upgrade includes a new pumping system for efficient irrigation & will be part of a pilot program for remote monitoring of dam safety.
Meet Sherry Hunt, a Supervisory Civil Engineer leading groundbreaking research to extend the life of aging earthen dams & predict potential failures. Inspired by astronaut General Thomas Stafford, Sherry's work impacts communities far & wide. #ARSEngineersInAction#EngineersWeek
👏 That's a wrap for USDA Engineers Week! 👏
A huge thank you to our incredible engineers for their continued innovation and dedication. 🌱💡 Together, we're shaping the future!
#EngineersWeek
Meet Dr. Sherry Hunt, the research leader on the @USDA_ARS Agroclimate and Hydraulic Engineering Research Unit team.
Help us celebrate our engineers this week! #ARSEngineersInAction
