Pure Seed Testing- Week 8

This week I took lots of drought DIA images! In the picture, you can see part of the A-List trials I took pictures of. I also took drought images of the TWCA Rainout shelter. 

I spent more time mowing this week. Above, you can see me on the John Deere reel mower for the 0.5" turf plots. 

This week, I began working on weighing! This picture is of some mill checks that I weighed out of Kentucky Bluegrass seed yield trials. Tese mill checks were sent to our testing lab. 

In this picture you can see me weighing bluegrass hybrid seed after it had been hand-thrashed. This seed was individually weighed and recorded in a spreadsheet. 



I got to visit one of the greenhouses with the marketing team and saw the beautiful Powder Blue fine fescue starts!

I spent some time writing thank-you letters to sponsors of the Bill Rose Foundation and worked on social media posts for the marketing team.
