Bouldin Alfalfa

Kuno and I arrived at 13:35 PST. It was warm and sunny with a slight breeze. The field looks the same as last week – alfalfa is starting to regrow and no wheat sprouts to be seen.

Kuno loaded 2 pieces of scaffolding and 2 cross-braces onto the truck. We will drop them off at East End later today.

I downloaded met, cam, and USB GHG data. I cleaned flux and rad sensors and cleaned a bit of bird poop out of the precip bucket (there was some water in the tipper).

The 7500 read: 415ppm CO2, 55
5mmol/m3 H2O, 27.5C, 101.8kPa, 95SS - 99 after cleaning
We left at 13:50 PST.

Estimated Next Mowing: 2024-11-02

After wheat was planted, tower was moved a few meters into the field and rotated so that the radiometers point south.
