Our Crowdfunding Groups
We have exceeded our goal! Thank you all so much for the continued support of our students. We are grateful to have so many amazing alumni, family, and friends willing to support our students' academic endeavors.
We had one of our final greenhouse practices before we leave next week. The plants are doing great, and hopefully, they will help our students learn the differences.
We are heading to Idaho next week, and we cannot wait to share about what we are doing!
Go Pokes!

The Crops Team is so grateful for the continued support! We have reached $630 of our $2500 goal.

Canola should be harvested at 10% moisture. As we prepare to travel to Idaho this spring, it is important to note that Idaho is in the top 5 producers of Canola in the U.S.
As the team travels to Twin Falls, ID. We wanted to showcase one of the top commodities in Idaho.
The OSU Crops Team began in the 1920s. This team helped train students into grain graders who would then work for various ports and other grain selling and trading locations.
Another main crop in Idaho is Barley, a bushel of barley is 48 lbs. Idaho is the #1 Barley-producing state in the U.S. We can't wait to travel to Twin Falls, ID with the OSU Crops Team.
Since a bushel of wheat is 60 lbs, we wanted this level to represent one of the most iconic grain crops grown in the state of Oklahoma.
A hundredweight (cwt) is a standard unit of measurement for some crops.
Triple Nickle or Delta Pine 555 was a standout cotton variety for many years. This is the average airfare cost for Crops Team members traveling to Twin Falls, ID.
A ton is 2000 lbs, so this level is showing a "ton" of support for the OSU Crops Team.
