Every time we use this drill+bucket for soil sampling, I wonder why we don’t always use it.

5. What do you like to do for fun?

I like to take a walk every day and go fishing occasionally. I also like gardening work around our house.

He was a good friend and inspiration since we met 38 years ago at Iowa State. RIP Dr. Chen!

[Trenton L. Roberts @UARK_SoilTest]

Dr. Chen’s legacy reaches far beyond soybean breeding. I first met him when interviewing for graduate school and he helped mentor me as a junior faculty. I’ve played more games of pick up basketball with him than I can count. Proud to have known him. https://t.co/IBeYyZmnSG

And this is why we test before graze/hay.

Great activity! People can learn how to buy the right fertilizers for their lawn and gardens.

[Courtney Keck @CourtneyKeck]

My volunteers will be at the Mustang Lowe's Garden Center on Saturdays this month! If you have a gardening question while you shop, they'll be there to help. #mastergardeners

@PivotBioPlains @OSU_NPK OKState does recommend K if STK is less than 125ppm.

Hot and dry weather is one of the causes of high nitrate in some forage plants.

[Ward Laboratories, Inc. @WardLabs]

Check out this months blog for more detail on managing high nitrate forages!

We can not say it enough an accurate reliable report starts with proper hay sampling procedures! https://t.co/pCJUrPYKd7

It was an honor to know and work with Dr. Bill Raun. He was a humble giant at OSU and around the world. He epitomizes the mission of the Ferguson College of Agriculture to help feed the world. Peace to his family and many students whose lives he touched.

[Craig Woods @eduCraig]

@OSU_NPK I have never met a man so passionate about ag. Rest in Peace in to Dr. Raun, Dr. Solie and Dr. Stone. The original Greenseeker team.

[Bee Chim @OSUSoilTesting]

Soil test makes more sense as fertilizer prices have gone up a lot lately. Watch how your samples are tested in our lab here: https://t.co/ORlNzCViwI
