Bouldin Alfalfa

Dennis and I arrived at 11:10 PST (12:10 PDT). It was mild, sunny, and clear with a slight breeze. My allergies started up at BC and continued here. Our alfalfa was tall and lush and ready to be mowed. The field two fields to our east has bales on it. The weeds around our tower are pretty minimal, thanks to Joe's weeding last time.

Dennis took spectral and veg height measurements. I downloaded met, cam, USB GHG, and FD measurements and cleaned flux and rad sensors.

The 7500 read: 428ppm CO2, 585mmol/m3 H2O, 22.1C, 101.2kPa, 103SS—105 after cleaning

We left at 11:30 PST (12:30 PDT).

Next Mowing: 2024-06-03
