Finally back to the field this week! Nothing calms the nerves like some soil sampling and field prep! Even had some moisture too! @CSUAgSci

[SWCOResearchCenter @SWCOAgResearch]

We so much appreciate our local farmers and ranchers! 🌱🌾

[Chris Neely @JnCFarmCO]

Spent the day with @SWCOAgResearch as well as local #farmers and #ranchers for a good conversation about how the last year went as well as the exciting year ahead of us! #Grow2020

Finished planting our dry bean trial in Fruita today. This is a multi-loc trial looking at the interaction of broad spectrum seed treatments and inoculation methods. Thanks to the Colorado Dry Bean Administrative Committee for providing generous funding support for our research!

Canola stems for days! Counting stems and rating winter survival and vigor. Good thing I'm not allergic to bees, but they don't seem to mind me! 😎 @ Southwestern Colorado Research Center https://t.co/WU2zGVdNE0

Good weather makes for a busy week! Finished planting our bulk crop areas with wheat, planted more plots, finished fertilizing plots and turned on our irrigation. More work on side rolls not pictured. 😉 https://t.co/VvWB1sAJS7

Teamwork made moving a side roll up hill easy, but the tall alfalfa made it a work out! Broken torque tube problems! @ Southwestern Colorado Research Center https://t.co/2bsNKFX5KX

More rain this week and cattle going to green pasture! @ Southwestern Colorado Research Center https://t.co/ZlIV9Zph72

The Old Fort in Hesperus is having a Field Day on May 13!

[SWCOResearchCenter @SWCOAgResearch]

We finished moving our "new to us" side roll to the research center! Now we just have to put it all back together! When do those interns start? 😉 @ Southwestern Colorado Research Center https://t.co/5o0qHReVeZ

Moving a sideroll up the road 20 miles to the research center. Thankful for a wet winter that has delayed us!!

From one city kid to all the others...agriculture is an amazing field to discover!! #STEM

[Western Colorado Research Center - Grand Valley @WCRCFruita]

Alfalfa is an amazing plant with its ability to withstand water shortages. Pictures taken yesterday of alfalfa being evaluated for stand count, yield and quality under foregone diversion scenarios such as stopping irrigation after 2nd cut and waiting after 1st cut to irrigate.

Could not be happier with the work of Senior Research Technician Kevin Gobbo and his work to re-purpose an unused McCrometer flow meter, joined to our existing 12" irrigation water main with two IPEX bolted repair couplers. The WCRC-Fruita now tracks water diversions completely.

[SWCOResearchCenter @SWCOAgResearch]

Enjoyed a site visit with MORP and TNC in a potential historic restoration orchard irrigation project.
