Alternatives are good to have, especially when it helps farmers and entrepreneurs - aaes.uada.edu/news/engineeri…
Thank you, Julie Thomas, for explaining the genetics behind your work w/ Andy Pereira and Awais Riaz to improve #rice tolerance in high nighttime temperatures. Read about it at aaes.uada.edu/news/hnt-rice-… (UADA/Paden Johnson photo) @AginArk
Things I learned this week: - AK's only ag export is peonies - Prolonged off-target dicamba can increase nematodes - Colorful pigments in leaves show up after chlorophyll dissipates in the fall. @AginArk
Check out the latest Arkansas Ag Research Report for stories on #waterfowl research, #organic soybeans, #poultry water line biofilms, 'Pickle Man' Ron Buescher, #veterinarians on animal welfare and more: aaes.uada.edu/news/october-2…. @AginArk @uam_cfanr
With China out of the U.S. soybean business, maybe it's time for our farmers to look at non-GMO or transition some acres to organic. There's a demand for it, and you get a nice premium. Tougher in the Mid-South, but this shows it can be done: aaes.uada.edu/news/organic-s…

We just had the pleasure of talking w/@charlespeekwx of @weatherchannel for a good @AginArk pro-development meeting. Here's a link to his incredible photos: charlespeekphotography.com/
A nice story on Arkansas' 1st gluten-free brewery with comments on #rice for brewing by UA food scientist/flavor chemist @ScottLafontain. Cheers! @AginArk @ArkAgResearch @bumperscollege.
Stoic Brews opened in Bentonville as Arkansas's first gluten-free brewery, using alternative beer ingredients. 5newsonline.com/article/news…
This is a great Behind the Discovery video on Mike Popp, professor of agricultural economics for @AginArk @ArkAgResearch, @uarkaeab, and @bumperscollege Check it out at youtu.be/rTG41nr9tS4?si=5s4x…
Had wondered why some weeds seemingly grew better after sprayed: “At sub-lethal absorption rates, glyphosate has been shown to stimulate CHEAL (common lambsquarter) growth rather than degrade plant health.” tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Brew Day means Happy Chickens and Goats. Plenty of spent grains for them to gobble up. (Pardon the mess. Goat shed under construction.)
Rethinking single-use plastics: Thanks @JoseCarranzaTV @5NEWS for highlighting this issue with @ArkAgResearch food processing engineer Sun Ferreira. @AginArk @bumperscollege 5newsonline.com/article/news…
In preparation for #EarthDay2025 I spoke with a food scientist about where we are with biodegradable plastics for packaging material. Sun Ferreira said the #corn protein zein is looking good! More at aaes.uada.edu/news/single-us…
