Seed Storage
by Emily Wolverton 09 May '23

09 May '23

Good Afternoon, Four containers were installed on the Point last Friday. Please feel free to move your seed into these containers. Based upon our seed plan for the Point a year ago, we had 8 research groups using seed storage space. Thus, each research group should have access to 1/2 of a container. Please organize your seed so there is a walkway down the center of the container, allowing access to the full length of the container. Please make sure all seed is in mouse-proof containers. Thanks, Rob Robert W. Duncan (he/him/his), Ph.D., P.Ag.

by Emily Wolverton 09 May '23

09 May '23

Hi On Wednesday, May 17th work will begin on removing all the greenhouse blinds from the roofs of the greenhouses. A lift is being delivered some time on the 17th and work will begin as soon as possible. As they sequentially do the removal, no access will be allowed into the greenhouse they are working on, due to the risk of glass breaking. Hopefully the work will be completed in 2-3 days. Cathy
