We dialed up some great weather for tailgate tour number 2. Jarrod Hardke and Mike Hamilton discussed with farmers the ins and outs of rice irrigation and what to expect regarding row rice vs. flooded rice production. Thankful for another great crowd. Stay tuned for stop 3.

I don't know if you could ask for a more excellent field day location when it is this hot—plenty of shade and a view of Ozarks. 🧨 Ferndale Int’l Observatory, the last rice tailgate tour is currently planned. This will be an insect and disease talk with a sack lunch from the local butcher.

This wraps up the Rice Tailgate Tours. In the future, we will switch gears to highlight emerging issues or problems that must be addressed. UA System Div of Ag #rice is appreciative of everyone who has supported this year. I've learned more on the turnrow than I ever have in the office.

Poultry Litter Arkansas Discovery Farms has started pollinating, and honey bees from a nearby hive are busy working this morning. #bees #rice #pollination field was not at the threshold to spray for Rice Stink Bugs. This variety is DG263L. Overall uniformed heading is proving beneficial.

Thanks to our friend Bill Landreth for helping to bring a new crop to the Jackson County Extension Center this year. We have wanted to help commercial horticulture farmers by adding new research to the area. First crop will be strawberries. Aaron Cato

Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary I created this account a few days after starting work for UA System Div of Ag on October 16th, eight years ago.

Hey Matthew Joseph Davis here just letting you know this page will be managed by other staff until such time they hire my replacement. I have decided to pursue an opportunity to become a Rice Agronomist and will start that on 02/10/25. Thanks for the opportunity to learn and educate.
