Item The Veteran R.E.A.D.S. Program (Resilience, Education, Advocacy, Dialogue, Service). White Paper.(University of Missouri Extension., 2024) Shinn, Joshua D.This paper explores the transformative role of storytelling in promoting healing, resilience, and community among veterans transitioning from military to civilian life. Drawing on research from the fields of psychology, trauma recovery, personality, holistic medicine, and primarily the humanities, the Veteran R.E.A.D.S. Program (VRP) is examined. The VRP harnesses storytelling to build resilience, enhance education, drive advocacy, foster dialogue, and promote service among veterans. By addressing the challenges of reintegration, the program not only supports individual well-being and education but also strengthens community vitality, belonging, contribution, and leadership, illustrating the profound impact of narrative approaches in navigating the complexities of post-service life.Item 2022 Missouri starter fertilizer trials(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2022) University of Missouri. Extension Division."Materials & Methods: Two sites were used for flood-irrigated rice and two were used for furrow-irrigated rice. Flood rice included two rice cultivars, RT XP753 and Diamond, and four starter fertilizer treatments: no starter fertilizer, 100 lbs/ac diammonium phosphate (DAP, 18-46-0), 100 lbs/ac urea (46-0-0), and 100 lbs/ac triple superphosphate (TSP, 0-45-0) applied at 2- to 3-leaf stage. Furrow-irrigated trials used only RT XP753 and 16 starter fertilizer treatments: no starter fertilizer applied; 65, 130, 196, 261, and 326 lbs/ac DAP; 65, 130, 196, 261, and 326 lbs/ac TSP; and 26, 51, 77, 102, and 128 lbs/ac urea. These amounts were selected to provide set amounts of phosphorus, nitrogen, both in combination, or neither to tease out which nutrient or nutrient interaction, if any, would be responsible for differences in yield. A precipitation event of 0.23” occurred at Portageville (FDRC) the day of application, while 0.17” were received at the Rice Farm (MRRMC) 3-4 days after starter fertilizer application. The furrow-irrigated rice fields were also flushed within two days after application. Aside from the starter fertilizer application, all trials were treated according to University of Missouri recommendations for rice production."--Page 2.Item 2022 Missouri rice seeding rate trials(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2022) Chlapecka, J.L.; Johnson, M.; McCorkle, K.; Hunt, C."Materials & Methods: Seeding rate trials were planted in flood-irrigated rice on two sites, Portageville (FDRC) and the Rice Farm (MRRMC) and at two planting dates, normal and late planted. Furrow-irrigated trials were planted within the “normal” planting window at two sites, FDRC and MRRMC, and within three areas of the field, top, middle, and bottom. One hybrid cultivar was utilized, RT XP753, and was planted at 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 seed/ft2. Meanwhile, three inbred varieties were also planted, CLL16, Diamond, and DG263L at 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 seed/ft2. Due to seed size differences, the equivalent seeding rate in pounds per acre is included for each treatment in the data tables on the following pages."--Page 2.Item 2022 Missouri rice nitrogen trials(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2022) Chlapecka, J.L.; Johnson, M.; McCorkle, K.; Hunt, C."Materials & Methods: The flood-irrigated rice variety x nitrogen (VxN) trial was conducted at Portageville with two cultivars, RT XP753 and Diamond, four nitrogen rates (0, 80, 120, and 160 lbs N/ac), and two timings [single preflood and 2-way split with second application made at midseason (at least green ring stage and 4 weeks after preflood incorporation)]. One furrow-irrigated VxN trial was conducted in the top, middle, and bottom of the field at the Rice Farm and included CLL16 and DG263L with either 0 N applied, a single preflood application of 120 lbs N/ac, three applications of 46 lbs N/ac, four applications of 46 lbs N/ac, or 60 lbs N/ac applied at preflood timing, 60 lbs N/ac applied two weeks later, and 46 lbs N/ac applied one week after the second application. The second VxN trial in furrow-irrigated rice was altered due to space constraints and included DG263L under the same N management strategies as the other furrow-irrigated trial. However, there were two timings for the first N application, either at 4-leaf or 6-leaf stage, to determine the optimum time to initiate N fertilization in furrow-irrigated rice."--Page 2.Item 2022 Missouri rice insecticide seed treatment trial(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2022) Chlapecka, J.L.; Johnson, M.; McCorkle, K.; Hunt, C."Materials & Methods: Rice billbug has become an economically important pest across a growing number of furrow-irrigated rice (FIR) acres. It currently appears that an insecticide seed treatment is the only viable way of controlling the pest. As part of a larger, multi-site project out of Arkansas, one site was included at the Missouri Rice Research Farm near Glennonville, MO. Several common rice insecticide seed treatments were studied both solo and in two-way combinations."--Page 2.
