Very sad to hear this. Leo was compassionate and funny, and a valued presence in my first year of grad school. Fond memories of caring for his and Rachael’s hound Maggie on a number of occasions.

Enjoyed my first time presenting at #AgOutlook today and being part of a very knowledgeable panel on ag practices that can reduce GHG emissions.

We will likely be hiring an additional 3 research soil scientists in soil survey soon: pedology and taxonomy soil geophysics and proximal sensing soil chemistry and numerology

That's some great looking soil. SoilView collecting 1 m cores from cover crop strip trials in Iowa. We're exploring whole profile impacts of cover crops on #soilhealth and #soilcarbon thanks to the legacy of the National Corn (NCGA) soil health partnership.

A couple of my colleagues put together a report digging into ERS survey data on in-field resource concerns and technical assistance. Such an important topic - check it out!

Farmer-reported soil and water concerns vary by crop type and region. Learn more: go.usa.gov/xuvEj.

Researchers at Univ. of Maryland show early planting is critical so #covercrops can clean up residual #soil nitrogen in fall and protect #groundwater from nitrate leaching during winter & spring Ray R. Weil find out more: doi.org/10.1002/jeq2.2…

Really cool photos of an asparagus harvest in Ontario.

We estimate that cover crop adoption has increased by 44% for corn and 46% for cotton between the two most recent ARMS surveys. About 8 percent of corn-for-grain acreage followed a fall cover crop in the brand-new 2021 data. Check it out!

Tomorrow, June 30th, is the last day to sign up to receive the Census of Ag. It is so important to count all producers to ensure we meet the needs of all of our farmers and ranchers across the US. Please share with producers you know! #AgCensus #farmers #AANHPI

Our article provides new data on cover crop management practices and costs from the Soil Health Partnership network. Costs vary with mix complexity and seeding method, and planting green increased over time.

Great that Economic Research Service has a full session at #AAEA2022 presenting their data and how to access it. Btw, they also have proprietary datasets ($$$) that are accessible to external researchers through collaborations with ERS staff. Pretty neat.

DYK that cover crops provide a variety of environmental benefits, such as less runoff of sediments into waterways, reduced flooding in watersheds, and soil carbon sequestration? Follow this thread to learn more about cover crops. #WorldSoilDay

We estimate that cover crop mixes are accounting for 18-25% of cover cropped acreage in corn, soybeans, and cotton.

.Dept. of Agriculture unveiled a geospatial product, Crop Sequence Boundaries, that offers visual crop rotation data. Developed by #NASS & Economic Research Service, CSB is a map of ag fields that provides crop acreage estimates & historical planting decisions across the contiguous U.S. nass.usda.gov/Newsroom/2023/…

New work out this week—a collaboration with UNL 👍🏼
