Agronomy major Taylor Olson looking at a weed that Uruguay producers struggle to eliminate in their fields. This is a field of soybeans planted just 3days before we arrived.
Soybeans just coming out of soil. Most planting is done by late December but a very wet period has delayed planting.
Santiago and Justin Vanneman discussing farming differences between South Dakota and Uruguay. In 2003 Santiago spent a year working on a grain and cattle farm in North Dakota.
Time to jump on a hay rack and go look at some cattle.
Special thanks to Santiago for organizing a great day of learning about agronomy in Uruguay. Dr. Gordon learned that Santiago spent a year working on a ranch in North Dakota and contacted him to tour our group of SDSU students and he didn't hesitate and it was great that he knew English and understand our U.S. Agriculture as well.
Students in another group photo with our Uruguay hosts in the most mature soybean field they showed us. They were very excited about how this crop had developed and expect an excellent yield.
