It was awesome to have on our summer team Jacob! Hope we convinced you that plant pathogens are as cool (and nasty) as human pathogens. We wish you all the best! Thanks to @TPhytopath for serving as his mentor. @UMNPlantPath @CFANS_NWROC
Yes, came back to these poor #sugarbeets waiting for @plantdisease diagnosis after a great #PlantHealth2024 meeting
Saw quiet a few planters in action today in the valley #plant24 Please remember Safety is First #sugarbeet @CrystalSugarCo @MDFCoop @UMNExt @NDSUExtension

#sugarbeets are stored in the fields after harvest and hauled to the factory in Germany while in MN and ND we pile the beets at various locations and at the factories to process into sugar
