@TimothyDSnyder It’s a great class Tim. Thanks for sharing it , your enthusiasm for the subject and love of the people shines through every time. Every lecture has been a joy

[Mark Bolda @MarkBolda]

@ToddFitchette You should get it! You’d pull into a meeting or event and people would have no doubt that @ToddFitchette has arrived.

[Mark Bolda @MarkBolda]

@ToddFitchette That’s surprisingly good - I figured all that metal and machinery would put it in the single digits.

@ToddFitchette What’s the gas mileage on this bad boy Todd?

[Mark Bolda @MarkBolda]

That was a lot of rain today folks, I’m worried our strawberry season might be done now

[Mark Bolda @MarkBolda]

@IPMCorner @StanVEG_Up @UCIPM What’s your call tho Jhalendra? Leave the thrips to eradicate the mites? Can they do it?

[Mark Bolda @MarkBolda]

@ToddFitchette Some cooling from the elevated humidity do you think?

[Mark Bolda @MarkBolda]

@ToddFitchette @Emokwx @brendonme Life insurance premiums are probably pretty high for that type of work

Getting set up for our first extension meeting in two years next week!

@UCDRange Snap décision & hooked up another machine, whose very moment of readiness was accompanied by the completion of updating on the original. Never a dull moment #UCCE extension!

A friend dropped off some Chandler, this a good berry! First released in 1984, this one has not lost its style. I’d describe it as spritely, not too sweet but right there.

@ToddFitchette What did you think of them?

[Mark Bolda @MarkBolda]

@ToddFitchette Amen Todd, amen.

[Mark Bolda @MarkBolda]

@ToddFitchette @farmpress I really appreciate you being out there and sharing w everyone what is going on and being said.

[Mark Bolda @MarkBolda]

@ToddFitchette @farmpress Good reporting Todd. Clarity and certainty means a potential registrant has the necessary information for making a decision on committing resources into an attempt at a label for a product.

[Mark Bolda @MarkBolda]

@ToddFitchette Buy strawberries instead of those apples - prices back to growers waaaay down right now.

I’m hiring for UC Yolo orchard research & extension. Great job for a recent Davis/Chico/Fresno/Poly ag grad interested in developing science-based solutions for real-world ag issues & translating research into action. Please spread the word! 1/3 https://t.co/R6v6tcYFcG

That quarter inch of rain Fri & Sat won’t amount to much strawberry fruit damage . 👀 for Botrytis tho in mid April or so - extended moisture on open flowers bad news
