The first Bell Museum Summer Camp at the SROC was a success! Huge thank you to SROC staff, Charlie Rohwer, Horticulture, and Andrew Plumski, Dairy Calf Unit, for taking time out of the three days to show the kids a little of what we do here and getting in on some of the activities, and Megan Raschka, Ashley O"Neill Prado, and Jennifer Behm with the Bell Museum for coordinating everything and giving these kids an experience they'll never forget! We are already in talks for next year's camp!

Here is your installment of the weekly crop & weather update!

We had our bi-annual meeting of the minds with our Advisory Committee on Monday, and we hosted a group with FIRST (Farmers' Independent Research of Seed Technologies) for their summer meeting. While here, they were able to learn how we operate in our Agronomy, Nutrient Management, and Soybean Cyst Nematode departments!
