I had the opportunity to host a group of Brazilian farmers to a technical tour through the US corn/soybean belt this past week. Over 2,000 miles driven and a lot seen in 10 days. Auburn Agriculture and Alabama Extension just gained more visibility overseas and Auburn University may be the stop in 2025.

A local farmer shared this video with me of a peanut field on his farm last night. Number 1 pest. Wild.
