Exciting results from on-farm #sesame trials. After just one season of sesame, root-knot nematode numbers declined from 81 to 97%!

Can’t wait to start processing our #fiberhemp with this decorticator that the amazing folks at @ncsu BAE completely remodeled. We will use this machine to get #bastfiber in the hands of researchers at our Wilson College of Textiles. @CropAndSoil @NCStateCALS @NC_PSI

New research is underway at @NCState on how fiber hemp can help support our state's textile industry! David Suchoff, assistant professor in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, is leading the initiative. Learn more below! #NCAgriculture

We had a wonderful #sesame field day in Bladen county. Huge thanks to S&S Farms for hosting and sharing their beautiful sesame with us. Also big thanks to Bladen County extension!

Tobacco's legacy in N.C. has been hard to replicate, but NC State researchers are working to find a crop that comes close. Learn how assistant professor David Suchoff is leading a five-year grant to study how fiber hemp can act as an alternative: https://t.co/PSedAvgNnr

Had a great time talking about #sesame at the NE AG Expo. This field was beautiful! #agresearch @NCStateCALS @CropAndSoil @SesacoSesame @NC_PSI

We are starting to harvest fiber #hemp from our trials in Clinton, NC. #fiberhemp #agresearch @CropAndSoil @NCStateCALS @NC_PSI

NC State grad student Abby Pleasant is raising and researching a type of sunflower that is new to North Carolina. 🌻 The black oilseed sunflower has the potential to increase our state's sunflower oil production.

Farmers across NC are trying out #sesame for the first time. We are really impressed with what they have been able to achieve! @SesacoSesame @EquinomFoodTech @NCStateCALS @CropAndSoil @NCState @NCExtension

We can’t wait for you all to join us at the 2023 #ncstate fiber hemp field day on August 8, at the Cunningham research station in Kinston, NC. Here’s a preview of some of the field trials we will visit. @NCStateCALS @CropAndSoil @NC_PSI @RichBonanno @NCExtension

Our #fiberhemp nitrogen rate trial in Salisbury looks tremendous! Excellent stands and solid rate response! #fiber #textiles #plantfibers #agronomy #agriculture #agresearch #hemp @NCStateCALS @CropAndSoil @NC_PSI

I’ve never seen a crop that shows SUCH an edge effect. This is a plot of fiber hemp receiving 0 nitrogen.

We have such an awesome crew! Today we thinned our #fiberhemp density study. This required counting every #plant in a plot and thinning to the right population. Talk about dedication! @CropAndSoil @NCStateCALS @NC_PSI

Mark your calendar folks! This year’s #fiberhemp field day is August 8 in Kinston, NC. More details coming soon. @CropAndSoil @NCStateCALS @NC_PSI @NCExtension

Our awesome crew is collecting data in the #fiberhemp trial in Goldsboro. Scroll to see 0, 50, 100, and 200 lbs N/ac differences!! #sustainability #agronomy #agriculture #fibercrops @CropAndSoil @NCStateCALS @NCExtension

Seeing some great rate response already in our #fiberhemp nitrogen trial.

We continue to look into #notill #fiberhemp to manage weeds. Certainly lots of lessons learned, but this plot in #hairyvetch looks very promising!
