Planted soybeans this week in our fall strip till with cereal rye. We will let the rye grow a couple weeks before we terminate the rye. Great system to maximize production and enhance our soils. #plant24 #SoilHealth

☘️Very excited to announce that today marks my first day as a #postdoc with @erictwatkins and @UMNTurf! ☀️Looking forward to new adventures!
@erictwatkins We are happy to do it. There’s nothing worse than starting off the season with dead grass, so if this will help prevent that in the future, I’m all in!

Tomorrow will be my and the branch managers last day. 15 great years with great members, owners and employees. The new chapter begins next week as the Superintendent at the OJ Noer research facility. Excited to get started with @plkoch2 @djsoldat and @kurtaculous 1/2
Greens check today #winterturf
@erictwatkins 💯 All of humanity agrees. Our omnipotent robot overlords, alas, do not.
So folks, it's time. I have been working on a website with my son Lucas throughout 2023 and as we slowly transition to a new year it feels like a good time to share it with everyone. Stay tuned for more exciting stuff! mindfulisle.com
Highlights of our day. Cow show at the fair and watching the Crew. #Columbus
Happy world soils day! Also, cheers, I passed my master’s defense last week!!! I am proud to get my Master’s degree in water resources science and a minor in land and atmospheric science. :)
Just got tenure!!! Will be effective on June 1st of next year.
Thrilled to announce the additions of @Suwell86 and @ferproanoc to our lab as postdoctoral scientists! Shashi and Fernanda will be continuing our work on disease modeling, turf microbiomes, and other cool projects and we’re excited to have them on our team!
Another season in the books! Could not ask for a better team! Already looking forward to spring 2024.
