With the passing of Les, we’ve lost a great thinker, scientist, educator and mentor…he will be greatly missed!
Our thoughts and condolences this evening are with the family, friends and colleagues of our longtime columnist and esteemed Prairie soil scientist Les Henry, who left us earlier today. grainews.ca/news/soil-scient…

If you are submitting the #mbagconf2023 2023 MAC CCA poster quiz for up to 2 CEUs - need those in by midnight CST tonight. @SoilSafariJohn left me to mark them, so send them my way. @MBsoilsleuth @UM_agfoodsci
Wrapping up Day 1 of #mbagconf2023 with @donflaten1 officially welcoming @SoilSafariJohn to CROSS - the society of Cranky Retired Old Soil Scientists!
One of the highlights of MAC is the farmer panel! This year @fionajochum @tyler_menold and Reid Mazinke share their experiences implementing new technologies in the field. Great follow-up to our morning plenary at #mbagconf2023
Misty the Twisty Scarecrow is making her public debut as a poster presenter stand-in! Seems fitting that she is here to present a poster highlighting the career of the infamous @SoilSafariJohn since he’s the one who brought her to life…and yes, the poster is crooked on purpose!
