What does it take for farmers to find answers to their questions- farmers with inquisitive minds, and their ingenuity feed with Extension county meetings, field trials, field days, newsletters, farm visits and much more.
Pleasant surprise w/ grower. Evaluated ears from several fields (see one ear). Had one field accidentally planted 77k per acre (see 2 ears). Fieldview says they’ve had 7 inches rain since planting. Amazing figures. See secret weapon. @NCCornGrowers @NCExtension

ncneagexpo.com wheat test site being harvested (6/14) by @NCOVT and @NCGrainTalk . Plots look good. Soon should see what the outcome of the tests are. @AustinBrownAg

A train engine didn’t show up at ncneagexpo.com whistle stop tour but even better @NCGrainTalk with a lot of good information on wheat production including wheat varieties. @NCExtension providing researched based info to the farming community. @AustinBrownAg
Another ncneagexpo.com soyb variety trial & in Currituck. Our seed trailer one of most useful pieces of equipment. Save “grunt work” (handling seed) & work w/ one set of seed for 6 counties. Summer field day July 25th. @AustinBrownAg @ncsoybeans @NCStatesoybeans
Here is test site for bill bug and nematode management with @DominicDReisig and @AdrienneGorny . Just waiting to see what the results will be.
Thanks @DominicDReisig & @AdrienneGorny for joint study of treatments to control bills bugs & nematodes in corn. Interesting results last year & one reason for repeating test. @NCExtension mission is generating research based info. @NCCornGrowers @AustinBrownAg
Ncneagexpo.com 2024 Small Grain test site looking good. See variety trial right that includes varieties planted at our other variety trial sites. “Whistle Stop” at site Thurs May 16th at 9:00 am. More details forthcoming. @NCGrainTalk @AustinBrownAg @NCExtension
ncneagexpo.com math goes like this. Two seasoned (old) agents plus two young agents equals getting the work done. Planted the Pasquotank soybean variety trial. Could use some rain. Remember our 2024 Summer Field Day 7/25. @ncsoybeans @NCStatesoybeans @AustinBrownAg
As they would say around home, getting in the “short rows w/ ncneagexpo.com corn varieties trials. Planted Camden’s today.. Check our website for our 2024 Summer Field Day on July 25th. @NCCornGrowers @NCExtension @AustinBrownAg

Planted the first ncneagexpo.com soybean variety trial today in Camden in Hale’s Lake. Beautiful farm land. Just need more help. @ncsoybeans @NCStatesoybeans @AustinBrownAg
One of my growers invited me out to see something he’s trying for first. Mixture of rye and hairy vetch and rye was killed in February. Prior to planting rolled it. No-till planted corn into it. @CropAndSoil @NCCornGrowers
Privileged to be a part of Coastal Resilience and Sustainability Initiative Workshop yesterday. Interesting to see people from different disciplines considering the same issue. @NCExtension @ncsco
