In the early days of the Institute for Regional Studies, at NDSU (established 1950, the country's oldest academic studies center for the history of the Great Plains), there were certain faculty members of the AC who demonstrated a truly entrepreneurial spirit, doing wonders with really no appropriated budget. Chief among these was an English prof named Leonard Sackett, a legendary collector of manuscripts. I'll write more about him another day, but now let me dive into the boxes of what he considered his greatest acquisition: the papers of J. B. Power, acquired from heirs in 1955.

Before we look ahead to a rapidly-approaching 2025 football season, a look back — over beers and with a background of classic country music at the Gateway Lounge, of course — at pop culture titans from our youth who left us this past week.Gen X'ers John Gaskins and Matt Zimmer put the latest local sports buzz on hold for a bit to reminisce about the essence of Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer Ozzy Osborne, Baseball Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg, WWE GOAT Hulk Hogan, and "Cosby Show" heart throb Malcolm Jamal-Warner (Theo Huxtable). They all died this past week, and their legacies are all in the wheelhouse of the two hosts.John and Zim next look back on last week's MVFC Media Days. Zim's biggest takeaway was the response and tone of North Dakota State head coach Tim Polasek regarding one particular touchy topic affecting all FCS teams in 2025. Plus, what do we make of the health of the league, with a currently clear two-tier system — The Big 3 of NDSU, SDSU, and USD... and then everyone else?Then, a look back at the short-lived but memorable tenure of South Dakota State running back Nate White, the Wisconson transfer who made an instant impact on the practice field and instant friends in the locker room before his tragic death in his sleep at the age of 20 last month.White's now-well-documented happy time in Brookings is a testament to the culture fostered within the Jackrabbit program over the last 20 years, a feature also well-established with the Sioux Falls Canaries. While "culture" and "family" are attainable cliches in prep and college sports, they are difficult to come by in minor league baseball. But the Birds clearly have it with manager Mike Meyer in a season that is escalating into a bonfire of big offense and big wins. How and why did the inferno grow?Finally, now that it is obvious the Minnesota Twins aren't championship contenders, what moves should the front office make for an organization that is for sale, but not in the bottom of the barrel?

Dr. Michael Wunsch is a Plant Pathologist at the Carrington Research Extension Center at North Dakota State University. He holds a Ph.D. from Cornell University in 2010, and has worked for NDSU ever since, focused on disease management problems on a wide breadth of crops grown in North Dakota. This episode is a follow up to the last episode where Michael focused on understanding disease biology and diagnosis of Ascochyta Blight of chickpea. Today we're going to go deeper into what it takes to control ascochyta, and specifically how to optimize fungicide applications.When it comes to managing fungal diseases, fungicide resistance is a growing and very concerning issue. Just like you may have heard about herbicide resistance in weed management, we are seeing the same problems in fungal diseases: spraying the same group of chemistries that attack a site in a fungus eventually leads to individuals that mutate. That mutation in the fungus persists as those that are susceptible die off and that leaves room for the resistant strains to proliferate. This happens over time, but at first it can seem negligible, until the resistant strains take over and it appears to happen over night. So today, Michael is going to walk us through three critical areas of fungal disease management: product choice, timing and droplet size. “ So essentially what you want to do is you want to spray your tank mix at early bloom before your first rain as you get into bloom. We're talking at that point, you're typically looking at absolute trace levels of disease. Your goal is to keep it from spreading because at that stage you can control it.” - Michael Wunsch, Ph.D.This Week on Growing Pulse Crops:Hear from Dr. Michael Wunsch, a Plant Pathologist at the Carrington Research Extension Center at North Dakota State University.Explore what it takes to control ascochyta in chickpeaUnderstand how to optimize fungicide applications, including product considerations, timing and nozzle settingsGrowing Pulse Crops is produced by Dr. Audrey Kalil and hosted by Tim Hammerich of the Future of Agriculture Podcast.
