Not sure who's responsible for filming this masterpiece but even as a farmer watching this, I'm still in awe that a seemingly inert seed has all the information required to spring to life in the right conditions and reproduce.

You can do it solo or team up with friends, family, or coworkers. Walking is a great way to stay active and motivated! Take the first step and learn more about it here: https://t.co/TK4ZCnZHLx.

Southern blight of soybean can occur in situations without the root-knot nematode. Rapidly wilted plants are generally easily observed. If the environment cooperates, the causal fungus can be observed at the crown of the plant and oftentimes produces sclerotia #mscrops @MSSOY

[Erick Larson @MStateCorn]

We have some outstanding corn being harvested. This dryland plot was grown at the MSU Brown Loam Experiment Station near Raymond by @Tsoignier56 .

Thanks to the eight participating seed companies and everyone involved.
