Pure Seed Testing- Week 7

Spent some time in the office filing tests!

I learned how to weigh out seed for various purposes this week. The seed seen here is being weighed and sent to the lab for a millcheck. 

Surprise! I spent more time mowing this week. Here I can be seen driving one of the reel mowers back to the shed. 

Above is the lightbox that is used to take pictures. On this particular day, I was taking pictures in the A-List drought trial. 

I did the last of the trafficking this week (although this is an old picture). I trafficked the progeny portion of the low-mow perennial ryegrass turf plots.

Took pictures of circles to be entered into their respective spreadsheets.
