As far as I'm concerned, this is still the most reliable way to record data!😁 A lot harder to lose a paper bag over a regular ol' sheet of paper. #Science #BestJobEver #SpacePen

Visited Yuma, AZ last week and learned some cool stuff. If you eat a salad between Thanksgiving and Easter, there's 90% chance it came from this valley. This is a commercial spray thinner in iceberg lettuce. #BestJobEver

Saw brown cotton for the first time last week. Would be interesting to see it at a field scale. Anyone familiar enough with it to tell me if the flower is different than upland cotton? #Cotton #TexasCotton

To cap off last weeks visit, a consultant whom we met with took us to see two harvest crews. This was romaine lettuce with three crews this size in the field.

This was my 3rd year judging at the Texas Science and Engineering Fair. These kids are the best of the state. The 7th and 8th grade girls who won the junior Life Sciences section easily would have won a graduate student level contest. The future is in capable and ambitious hands.

Since working in crop protection I've always felt there was a need for a youtube channel strictly of pesticides being added to water. #MysteriousLiquids

Finally tired eating corn smut today. I prefer it to regular white mushrooms. Quite tasty! Even though it looks weird I like the idea that I'm eating something that eats living things over decaying things. #TryNewThings

Recent field highlights... -Tons of sweat bees, that seem to get caught in my clothing and sting me. Still cute critters. -Unique pigweed flowering
