My old nemesis, out to play 🫠

First beans of ‘24 out and about 🌱 Yes, it’s already stupidly hot. No, I don’t want to talk about it 🙄

[Megan Bourns @meg_bourns]

Kansas is kind of an unassuming place. But let me tell you, she’s gorgeous when she sparkles just right ☀️🌱🌽

[Megan Bourns @meg_bourns]

@Edgar_Hammer Thanks!

[Megan Bourns @meg_bourns]

The final PhD field season is officially on. #plant24 let’s do this 🌽🌱

@JDGaultier @FieldwalkerAg 👋 recovering MB K researcher here. Good article: https://t.co/3PFQGgZnDR.
Food for thought: shift high K rates out of soy part of the rotation…maybe. Soy generally doesn’t respond well to K applied in that yr. I’d do my high rate ahead of a more Cl tolerant crop 🌽🌾

@LSimonAGRON @KStateAgron Thanks, Logan!

Great Plains Soil Fertility Conference ✅ Always enjoy a regional fertility meeting. Taking home 1st in the student competition never hurts either 🥇

Flagging 320 ft lengths with persistent 25+mph winds…2/10, do not recommend. At this point I’m going to put “pro plot flagger” on my resume. #kansasthings #plant24

[Megan Bourns @meg_bourns]

@JDGaultier Thank you!

Loved this opportunity to share my poster and rapid oral presentation tips with my peers! Great discussion 🙌

[AGSA | K-State @agsaksu]

Today, we had an incredible workshop led by Megan on 'Short-Form Communication for a Technical Audience,' with a focus on posters and rapid oral presentations for the tri-society meeting. 📊

We hope Megan's tips were helpful, and we wish you the best of luck in the meeting! 🍀
