Great to see the harvest moving forward at #CSUTAPS, even on a chilly November day! Impressed by how it's handling the corn affected by recent weather!

Harvest is underway at #CSUTAPS on a cold Nov day. Glad for @USDA_ARS support in using their research grade combine to process data from our competition’s 90 plots. Super happy to see this combine lift & process corn blown down in recent weather in some of our field. @CSUAgSci

#CSUTAPS hand-sampled biomass last week: 12 plants for each of 90 plots! We check nitrogen uptake to help determine how teams’ N use decisions affected profitability & efficiency. And moisture data will help us set a harvest date! #TestingAgPerformanceSolutions @WardLabs
