The Rice Weed Management Program had a busy week planting/water-seeding the bulk of our research trials on the Rice Research Station. Here’s a couple photos from the week. @LSUAgCenter

Command injury plus flooding plus 5 days of 25+ mph winds plus cold and cloudy weather. Fortunately rice is a resilient crop and as we head into a stretch of more favorable growing conditions I expect our rice to make a 180 by the end of the week.

Doesn’t look like I’m going to be planting plots in this area for a while but at least it’s being utilized. We received 10.5 inches of rain here at the Rice Research Station South Farm in Crowley, LA this past weekend.

Planting 700 plots in 25 sec!

@AgWriterVLBoyd This is pretty common. The big draw is reduced tillage requirements due to the lack of boat ruts.

We are starting a brand new Texas A&M AgriLife Extension program from scratch in Eagle Lake focused on the Texas rice industry as a whole, and that starts with the growers. I'm very excited and honored to be in a position to lead this effort.

Congratulations to Maranda Hains for finishing first place in the student talk competition and to Wesley Carr for finishing third in the student poster competition this week at the International Temperate Rice Conference in New Orleans. Hard work pays off.

Annie helped me plant the last of my research plots in Crowley today. She got to see fertilizer going out and even an alligator. My dad and uncle @Eric5Webster both grew up on a research station, so I am glad I get to share moments like this with my daughter.

[Sam Rustom @samrustomjr]

Many already know, but I'm very excited to announce I have accepted an Assistant Professor/Extension Rice Agronomist position with @AgriLife. If you know me, you know positions like this are a dream come true. Let's get to work, Texas!

@Eric5Webster @LSUAgCenter Come put a backpack on and get some steps in like the good ole days
