We are moving into peak water requirements, here are some considerations especially for #cotton. Midseason Irrigation Pointers https://t.co/kCENGUM0Gy via @Cotton Farming

Great year for irrigation research, not so much for dryland and fields with limited irrigation capacity.

[UGA SIRP @StriplingPark]

Beginning to suspect @WesleyMPorter may have a treatment effect / yield difference between these 2 #corn plots.

And so it begins! Using #VRI to apply #irrigation to plots in @WesleyMPorter #corn plots. #Irrigation2021

@WesleyMPorter and crew installing soil moisture sensors in his #corn irrigation scheduling study yesterday. Involves @RealmFive, @IRROMETER, @ValleyPivots and @crop_x systems or components.

[Grow: Plant Health Exchange @Crop_Protection]

Planter performance is a critical component in setting the foundation for a successful crop season. @WesleyMPorter discusses how specific planter components and settings can be adjusted to match current field conditions and ensure maximized emergence. @GAPrecisionAg @plantdisease

[Reagan Noland @WTXAgronomy]

Special guest Dr. Wes Porter will discuss #cotton planter setup and new technologies on Friday (3/26)! Join us for this much-anticipated first-ever crossover event with UGA Extension! #cottonstalk

@LucasAHaag @Ogallala_water @true_bug @NE_DrylandCrops @WyoWeeds @szintri @OSU_NPK @KSUCROPS @TXPanAg @Wheat_MaryG @UNLIrrigation @UNL_TAPS We use OneDrive the most, tried task softwares and have a team group chat tried electronic data collection but a tablet lasts about 15 min in S GA heat before shut down I've enjoyed seeing some solutions. If I could only train the gnats how to be useful I'd be good

@agrarian_life @GAPrecisionAg @PrecAgEngineer @Jlw1963Webb Actually wore my #cotton and #quail shirt today!!

[Wes Porter-UGA Ext Ag Engineer @WesleyMPorter]

@NozzleHead_SAB @PrecAgEngineer We may can work something out....

[Wes Porter-UGA Ext Ag Engineer @WesleyMPorter]

Corn Irrigation Scheduling study at @StriplingPark was harvested today. Big treatment differences ranging from 30 bu/ac dryland to 250 bu/ac in irrigation treatments. We'll see how all the treatments come out after analysis.

[Wes Porter-UGA Ext Ag Engineer @WesleyMPorter]

Congratulations to @UGA_AgEngineer for successfully defending and passing his Dissertation defense today even if it were in an unconventional way. Dr. Virk coming soon!
