We spent the day at Sunbelt Expo in Moultrie, GA! It was a great day interacting with farmers & ranchers and highlighting our CHEERS project in the UF IFAS booth! Big thanks to UF IFAS communication and IFAS extension for the great support!
Today we had the farewell of Maria Luana Medeiros! Luana developed her internship since 2025 and was a great member of our Team! Thank you for all the support and dedication! We wish you the best in the next phase of your professional and personal life!
For the last two weeks we hosted Dr. Marieta Cervantes from Peru as part of an IAEA program! Marieta is an excellent scientist working in the Peruvian Andes! We started a collaboration to use stable isotopes in agricultural research! Looking forward to continue the cooperation!
Overseeding oats before cotton defoliation! This will add 30 extra grazing days in integrated crop-livestock systems! CHEERS!

.@dubeux is leading a @USDA_NIFA $9.99M funded, multi-state effort to help farmers turn underused winter farmland into new economic opportunities. With millions of acres left fallow each year, researchers are tackling the barriers to the wider adoption of winter crops and integrated farming systems.

Today we harvested the Arachis pintoi seeds! Kudos for the farm crew and the Forage Team in Marianna! We are harvesting in four different dates and assessing seed maturity, harvesting efficiency, and seed yield! This is an exciting project! This is Year 2!
Today we had the farewell for Dr. Marcio Cunha from UFRPE, Brazil, who spent 15 months of his sabbatical with us at UF IFAS NFREC in Marianna. Marcio helped a lot during this time, especially on the pintoi program (seeded peanut). We will miss him!
Harvesting Arachis pintoi seeds! We are assessing how to transfer peanut harvesting technology to produce pintoi seeds! This is the second year of the study!
Measuring water infiltration rate and hydraulic conductivity in integrated crop-livestock fields! That’s part of Arthur Valentini’s MS thesis! Big thanks to all the team helping, especially Maria Luana Medeiros who has been a great support to this project!
Happy to speak at the ADSA Discover Conference addressing forage production for Dairy Systems in the Southeast US! I have been learning a lot from other colleagues about important topics on Dairy Systems across the US!
We are assessing different Desmodium species and how they persist in North Florida! These plants survived two winters already and we are measuring their potential for forage production! This is part of the MS program of Kamille Sganzerla!
