Thanks for the southern hospitality! Great turnout and conversations at your NC Soybean Schools! It was so good to run down memory lane from campus to research stations as well as people I worked with over the years. My trip was complete with Cheddar Bo!

Worse case of spring Hessian fly infestation I’ve ever seen. Don’t know if they were 100% of the cause but certainly a big contributor. Check out our list of resistant varieties to help avoid this smallgrains.ces.ncsu.edu/202… @NCGrainTalk @BoCoAgAgent @NCOVT

A farmer asked me was it better to deliver wet beans or dry beans to the elevator. This was our best shot at answering this question. Thanks J. Gaska for helping me think this through. I will now wait for an ag economist or grain marketer to tell me I did it wrong 😂

Yee-haw! MG3 variety planted on 3/23 in Beaufort Co cut mid 80 bpa on 8/31. In our @ncsoybeans planting date studies over past few years, we have only seen Blackland sites consistently have high yields with a <MG4 planted before mid-April. @NCExtension @CropAndSoil @BoCoAgAgent – at Raleigh, NC

Last year, I stated that my number one most despised Christmas song was "Last Christmas" by Wham!. Today, I heard Mariah Carey's version of the same song. It was already at #1 on my list...it can't go any higher, Mariah. But thanks for trying anyway.

Agriculture is vitally important to the economy of Beaufort County. And remember, it's harvest season, so be careful on the roads as farmers are moving equipment around! @ncsoybeans @NCCornGrowers @NCStatesoybeans @NCExtension @NC_BFMA @NCStateCALS youtube.com/watch?v=nUXRBcu6…
