First NSF.
My heart is filled with gratitude! Foremost, I want to thank the love of my life and incredibly talented researcher @shysol4u who has been my strength through the thick and thin of life! Dual-career with kids is a spin ball; you really need to learn how to play it!
Rachel Short and Gazala Ameen, two assistant professors in @SDStateCAFES, have each received prestigious grants from @NSF to pursue biology and environmental research projects.

One paragraph, no matter how poor, is better than a chapter you intend to write but never start.
Get some words on the page.

Through partnerships with @uswheatassoc, your checkoff helps promote U.S. #wheat to international buyers who value quality and reliability.
Those relationships help build demand and keep markets open for the grain grown right here at home.
