February Fog

Fog has been seen in northeast Nebraska off and on since Jan. 23, according to the National Weather Service in Omaha. Lead meteorologist Becky Kern explained a combination of cold ground containing lots of moisture, a warmer-than-normal air mass overhead and little to no wind allowed fog to settle across the region for several days recently. However, Kern noted, fog is fading from the forecast as winds are expected to pick up this week and bring possible light rain showers, and then slight chances of snow this weekend. 02/07/2024 12:00 AM

Chemigation Applicator Training set

LINCOLN – The Nebraska Chemigation Act was passed in 1987 to help ensure that the backflow of chemicals would not contaminate the ground and surface waters of the state from irrigation water application systems used to apply crop nutrients and pesticides (chemigation). The law requires producers who plan to apply fertilizer or pesticide through an irrigation system to be certified by the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEE). Certification is valid for four years, and training is provided through UNL Extension. 01/31/2024 12:00 AM
