Very grateful for the support from @WheatInitiative and @tamusoilcrop to share our team’s research with scientists from around the globe and attend the @globalrust Women in Leadership breakfast at #IWC2024Perth. It was the experience of a lifetime!

We’re 2 weeks out! Excited to discuss UAS and plant breeding, and pinch-hit for @QingwuXue on drought tolerance traits in TAM 111 and 112. Grateful to @tamusoilcrop for the travel scholarship and @IWYP_wheat for the registration scholarship!

The best day of our year: Bushland irrigated harvest! We are getting some yields upwards of 120 bu/a, overflowing some sample bags.

And here it is, in yield heat map format. TX18DH313 was the lone UVTRP entry to yield well under extreme Yr pressure.

Timely planting and moisture have the Chillicothe nursery stands looking good. Last week’s fog triggered juvenile stripe rust infections in a few spots. @TAMWheat @TXRP_Agronomy @HighPlainWheat @AibrahimAmir @TexasWheat @TXSmallGrains

Not maturity, but an unusually strong juvenile stripe rust infection prior to winter wheat heading at Chillicothe, TX. Note the green triticale block on the right. Our top variety candidates (far right) performed well under extreme Yr pressure.

Beautiful dryland wheat south of Perryton, north of unthinkable destruction from the fires. @TexasWheat

It’s a Christmas miracle! Finally back in our own greenhouses, which maintained mechanical functionality after sitting open to the elements for over a year and a half. Having staff to work in there is no small miracle either.

Slow rolling through the nursery, a good problem to have. Yield trials averaging low 90s. Seeing some 110 bu/a plots.
