HOLY BUCKETS! A lot of rain in portions of west Kansas last night! Much needed rain at that! #kswx

Rapid cycling SSD populations. F3 generations are advanced to F6 in one year. #wheat #plantbreeding #genetics

Kickstart on the harvest season. Individual plants, early-generation and advanced yield trials already harvested in Hutchinson #wheat #Genetics

Check out our most recent paper, where we evaluated 19 years of #wheat variety trials (~100,000 yield obs) to improve mgmt and variety recs in KS, OK, and CO. Congrats Lucas Berger Munaro for publishing your MS thesis! Thanks KS Wheat Alliance for financial support! authors.elsevier.com/a/1bGUz1M2tVHE…
