🇺🇸U.S. #cotton plantings come in well above expectations and above all trade guesses. Acres of #sorghum, #barley and #oats are all down notably from 2023.

[Karen Braun @kannbwx]

🇺🇸U.S. #wheat production fell from the previous estimate due to smaller output for spring and durum, offsetting an increase in winter wheat.

[World Grain @worldgrain]

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) lowered its estimate for US all-wheat production this year based on forecasts for lower soft red winter, other spring and durum #wheat production. → https://t.co/CXLijVKWYO

I finally harvested my winter durum yield plots. There is a great potential for winter durum wheat as all the advanced lines survived at 100% in St. Paul and Rosemount, MN.

So sad to share the news that Professor Don Wyse passed away this morning.

The Department of Agronomy & Plant Genetics (@UMN_AgroPlant) shared these bouquets of Forever Green crops as a touching tribute.

Dr. Brian Steffenson in the NWROC annual Crops and Soils Day talking about small grains disease evaluation and utilizing wild species for the discovery of novel genes.

[Crop Science 🌱 @crop_science]

Recent @crop_science publication utilized examined wild #barley subspecies and revealed genes associated with cell wall modification, carbohydrate metabolism, and regulation of β-glucan.

The "unzipping" of the dryline yesterday across the Plains is one of the coolest meteorological processes I have ever seen on satellite.
