Hey Ag Twitter.. I am resurrecting the UofG Midwest Tour and I need a couple of possible stops in the Garden City KS to Wichita KS area. And a possible stop for the Saturday of Labour Day weekend in southern NE... any leads would be greatly appreciated...

After 51 years of the Midwest Tour, I just sent our hosts an email letting them know that the 2020 Tour is cancelled. I really feel for the OAC21s that they could not experience the Midwest Tour. I am hopeful for the 2021 Midwest Tour.

Rule
#1
everyone is different
For a research paper, articulate the hypothesis, objectives and conclusions first as it focuses the paper, write your M&M as you know what you did, then tables & figures. For R&D layout subheadings that build your case that lead to your conclusions

@AcademicChatter
When building your intro or lit review you must cite the original source of the knowledge.
Find a paper that you found well written and look at how it was written.
Remember that you are telling a story.
Keeping track of the relevant lit &how it fits together gets easier

Genetics is fun when things work out as predicted... Found an abnormal phylotaxy phenotype last year in a population under selection for leaf number. Figured that I was dealing with a single dominant gene, given the rapid increase in the population. F1 confirms it...

You need to pick sweet corn hybrids that have the browning silk trait. The silks brown when cut means that they have high levels of maysin, apimaysin, and possibly chlorogenic acid. All of these compounds are antinutritives to a CEW....
Growing number of reports of corn earworm in sweet corn and even tomatoes. CEW is resistant to pyrethroid sprays. Freshly silking corn is at risk of infestation. Timing and coverage is essential. Remember silks grow fast and may lack residual control.
