Time to Rebuild

I never expected that after attending a couple events in Omaha I'd be rushing to a friend's basement for cover from massive tornadoes at the end of April. But that's what thousands of Nebraskans were doing that weekend. The strongest tornadoes our state has seen in years swept across Nebraska, leaving unbelievable damage in their wake. 05/08/2024 12:00 AM

Online mapping service helps protect workers, sensitive crops, pollinators

Online mapping service helps protect workers, sensitive crops, pollinators

LINCOLN– Pesticides are used in agriculture to help farmers protect crops from pests, diseases, and weeds. Some crops, like fruit and vegetable specialty crops, and the pollinators of those crops, can be sensitive to pesticides. That’s why the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) contracts with FieldWatch™, an online mapping service designed to help pesticide applicators, commercial specialty crop growers and beekeepers communicate with one another to protect crops and pollinators from pesticides. Pesticides include all categories of pest control products such as herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. 05/08/2024 12:00 AM

Nebraskans want immediate, long-term state funding for child care

Nebraskans want immediate, long-term state funding for child care

A new statewide public opinion survey released today shows that Nebraskans overwhelmingly want major, long-term state investment in quality child care and early learning – and they want it now. The survey, conducted in early 2024 by We Care for Kids/Por todos los niños and Nebraska Extension, asked Nebraskans whether they were willing to put significant state resources toward child care. Nearly 4 out of 5 Nebraskans agreed, saying they would approve dedicating as much as $190 million in funding per year for the next 10 years to help with the state’s child care crisis. 05/08/2024 12:00 AM
