Science Fair Alert! Us AAFC-Harrow'ers took some time to judge projects at Kingsville Public School today. So many bright and curious kids! It’s always worth the time, even if you are busy, to nurture the next generation of scientists and engineers @AAFC_Canada @KingsvilleCobra

We'd love to see you there!
@BeansAndGenes where are we going to eat at 8:00pm after a full day of harvest? #perchinabasket #unlimitedicetea

Intense concentration and fast hands to get our SCN hill plots in at Harrow. We'll dig these in 28 to 35 days with our tree digger machine. #drybeans
Double barreled planting action in St.Thomas. Thanks to @fergs14 for the cooperation to get this done! #drybeans @BeansAndGenes @OntBeanGrowers
I'm listening to @MrsALarsen teach online/virtual school from my home office. It is a thing of beauty. Some very lucky #windsoressex students getting critical support to develop reading skills. There is no doubt they are having fun and learning at the same time.

If you don't take a picture did it even happen? #plant21 is a go at AAFC-Harrow. @BeansAndGenes @OntBeanGrowers

Today's setup from the home office. Threshing single plants from the greenhouse which will go into the ground as rows next week.

I wonder what the end use quality parameters would be for a quality bean soak? Large vs. Small beans? Firm? Colour preference? #betterwithbeans

Bean smoothie day. Here's our youngest trying one I made. His reaction is classic. @Aaron_Bowman_ @OntBeanGrowers #tryittryitandyoumay #betterwithbeans
This a cool fact! Happy #WorldPulsesDay
Canada represents 30-40% of global pulse trade. There would be no #WorldPulsesDay without Canadian pulse growers, traders and processors.

Way to go girls! Every bit matters! #prouddad #proudcoach #gooddeedscup Follow the thread to see more about what these girls are trying to accomplish and their good deed.
So far our good deed has raised $1432 for @y2ythebridge to help youth in #windsoressex. We're pretty proud of what we've accomplished through the #gooddeedscup

Well done Meghan! Doing her best to solve the file drawer problem.
We are so excited to launch drybeanagronomy.ca today! This new website outlines agronomic management practices for dry bean production in Ontario & brings together expertise & research results from our research community. Thanks @megnmoran for your leadership on this!

This table and graph (2/2) on CHU trends was sent out by Andy Bootsma who is a "semi-retired" AAFC ag climatologist in Ottawa. Food for thought. From the 1999-2008 decadal period to now (2008-2018) Harrow and London have added 1 week of growing season. #OntAg
Here's the video! Proud to coach this great group of girls.
Hey @ChevroletCanada check out the South County Predators U13 girls hockey team's video for the #GoodDeedsCup! We're taking our shot at winning the cup for @y2ythebridge and to raise awareness for all of the great things they do for youth in #windsoressex 🏒🥅👍

Today is the day! #GoodDeedsCup We will be streaming our video unveiling live on twitter. We'd love it if you join us at 7:00 pm (EST) @ChevroletCanada. Our Good Deed is in support of @y2ythebridge #windsoressex 🏒🥅👍
Full disclosure...I don't like smoothies. I was asked to create a bean smoothie by @OntBeanGrowers. I made a package of maple-brown sugar quick oats and then chilled that slightly. I blended a cup of white beans in. That's it. It was pretty good, actually. #betterwithbeans
