The #BroodX cicadas are coming! In counties across north Georgia, the red-eyed creatures are already making appearances. Have you spotted any? Let us know!

First spray #nozzletech research of 2021 getting implemented in peanuts today!! We sure had a great team working together to execute the treatments while collecting volumes of spray data. Project funded by Nat. Peanut Board and @georgiapeanuts! UGA Ag & Environmental Research @GAPrecisionAg

Look out...the cicadas are coming! If you live in Georgia and want to see Brood X, you'll need to travel to the very northeastern part of the state. t.uga.edu/712 UGA Agricultural & Environmental Sciences

Join me tomorrow for an interesting conversation about how we #communicatescience given all that has happened this past year. UGA CAES Students @allisonrfortner and Kennedy Mayfield-Smith might be highlighted along with other great UGA Ag & Environmental Research Did I mention its free!?!?!

Exciting news from Atlanta! 🎉 Governor Brian P. Kemp signed the FY22 budget on Monday, which includes $26.1 million in support for two CAES projects: a new Poultry Science Complex and a new Multidisciplinary Greenhouse Complex. ow.ly/Xkf450EMKcr

Researchers at UGA Agricultural & Environmental Sciences & K-State College of Agriculture were granted a patent for nicotinamide riboside, a vitamin B3 analogue that increases poultry muscle size, improves pig resistance to fatigue & stabilizes the color of pork cuts.

Some chickens are noted to be able to fly only up to 10 feet for about 16 yards. This must not include our #BirdDawgs, who are soaring to new heights and distances after being awarded 4 Poultry Science Association (PSA) Awards🐓 ow.ly/Abfa50FffWs

Our #BirdDawgs are researching innovative techniques to make the poultry industry more #sustainable. Read more below how #microchips might be the answer. southscapes.caes.uga.edu/article/using-…

July is #SmartIrrigationMonth! Match your application rates (in/hr) and amounts (inches) to specific soil type in your field to avoid runoff. Got soil variability? - perhaps a VRI control sys would benefit your operation - put the right rate in the right spot at the right time!

We could get used to planting with the beautiful North Georgia mountains in the background! Another zoysia replicated field trial in the ground! #UGATiftonTurf #CultivatingGrowth #zoysiagrass #GeorgiaMountainExperimentStation

Today is National Watermelon Day! What better way to celebrate than with a sweet and juicy slice of your own? If you have questions about growing your own watermelons, our extension agents have you covered in the link below🍉 extension.uga.edu/publications/d…
