Sombra likes to double check my SAS homework. She thinks the bow tie makes her an expert but her code threw a ton of errors 🤭

Our first NC Commodities Conference. I’m looking forward to the poster session with two NCSU Entomology & Plant Pathology grad students Kelly O’Reilly and Taynara Possebom presenting their work on #soybean and pest management.

Great job by NCSU Entomology & Plant Pathology graduate student Taynara Possebom for doing an excellent job presenting her NC Soybean Producers Association funded work with Dominic Reisig on corn earworm management differences between indeterminate and determinate varieties at the NC Commodity Conference #ThinkandDo

Very proud of the NC State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and N.C. Plant Sciences Initiative graduate students who shared their research at the NC Commodity Conference this week.

Celebrating #NationalAgDay by kicking off #Plant23 in Hyde County and teaching students about soybeans in Stokes County. Think and Do! NC State Crop & Soil Sciences DJ Stokes @DwightCauthen NC State Extension Andrea Gibbs Kelly O’Reilly

Had a wonderful time representing NC State Soybean Extension in Stokes County for #AgDay yesterday! A beautiful day to talk about soybeans, grower decisions, and future jobs in ag with the local FFA students. 🥰

Everything is basking in the morning sunshine…

Proud of these graduate students Kelly O’Reilly and Taynara Possebom for presenting their NC Soybean Producers Association funded research at the NC State University graduate student symposium.

Loved sharing my favorite ‘magic bean’ with students and families at NC State Extension’s Farm Animal Days 2023. So fun! And the NC Soybean Producers Association goodies were a big hit! 😁 Igor Sulzbacher Schardong NC State Soybean Extension

Last month I had the pleasure to be in the fields with many versions of Edward Scissorhands. They helped me out so much with the defoliation of double crop and full season soybeans! We are reevaluating the defoliation thresholds for NC.

From Wednesday to Friday we defoliated so many plants of soybean. I close my eyes and still see leaves. Updating the defoliation thresholds of soybean in NC. Thank you for the help Dominic Reisig Kevin Orta alexis middleton alsdorf Kelly O’Reilly Taynara Possebom NC State Soybean Extension jersonguedes

This is how NCSU Entomology & Plant Pathology rolls at #EntSoc23. A quick us-ie before our next student talks. We are getting our steps in as we zigzag across the conference center!
