Applying manure management concepts on-farm
Nebraska Extension’s Land Application Recertification sessions, called Applying Manure Management Concepts On-Farm, are scheduled to be in-person at many locations across the state in June, with the first taking place in May in Lexington.
Each 2.5-hour session will focus on what fields producers should choose to best utilize manure nutrients and other benefits. The sessions will be highly participant-led and will have limited seating at each session. Participants will be given a scenario and asked to determine priority ranking of each field within the scenario. This ranking will be done at the end of each of the activities focused on manure nutrients, transportation cost, soil health, water quality, as well as neighbors and odors. Regulations and record keeping pertaining to manure storage and application will also be addressed during each session.
Sessions include:
Lexington on May 18 – 1:30-4 p.m. CST
Bridgeport on June 2 – 1:30-4 p.m. MDT
Curtis on June 8 – 1:30-4 p.m. CST

Commerce Committee Advances Senator Fischer’s Precision Ag Technology Legislation
U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), a member of the Senate Commerce Committee and the Senate Agriculture Committee, released the following statement after the Commerce committee advanced her bipartisan legislation supporting the advancement of Internet of Things (IoT) technology for precision agriculture:
“This is critical legislation for ag communities. Through targeted research, it would improve the technology farmers and ranchers need to benefit from precision agriculture, especially in areas without reliable connectivity or power. It’s good to see this bipartisan bill for rural America clear committee.”
More information about the legislation:
The bill, which Senator Fischer introduced with Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) last month, would encourage National Science Foundation (NSF) support for research on advanced sensing systems for rural and agricultural areas. Specifically, it would ensure this research assesses rural and agricultural environments where there often is unreliable signal connectivity or power. This can affect how connected Internet of Things (IoT) technologies operate in these settings.
Additionally, this legislation:
Expands the definition of “advanced technology” for NSF’s Advanced Technical Education (ATE) Program to ensure the inclusion of agriculture-related technology.
Updates language in NSF’s associate degree programs in STEM fields to consider applications that incorporate distance learning into the curriculum. This would provide additional flexibility for students in rural areas or those who work on a farm or ranch.
Directs the Government Accountability Office to produce a report that provides a technology assessment of precision agriculture innovations, as well as reviews all existing federal programs that support precision agriculture.
Senator Fischer has been a leader on advancing IoT technology. Last year, the Senate passed her bipartisan DIGIT Act, which became law. That legislation convenes a working group of federal entities and private sector experts to facilitate the growth of IoT, particularly in key sectors such as agriculture, transportation, and health care.
Tailgate Talks celebrates its first anniversary during Beef Month
May is National Beef Month, and Nebraska Extension is celebrating the first anniversary of Tailgate Talks, a YouTube channel aimed at beef producers.
As part of the celebration, there will be a featured video message on the Tailgate Talks channel and a giveaway to its subscribers to commemorate the channel’s success and emphasize the importance of the beef industry in Nebraska, home to the top three beef cow counties in the U.S. — Cherry, Custer and Holt Counties.
Tailgate Talks, which launched last May when the pandemic hit, features informative videos on timely topics geared toward cattle producers and allied industry personnel.
Each topic is related to beef cattle management that points producers to available resources and additional information in a concise format.
“In today’s world, we have access to a wealth of information but limited time to consume it,” said Erin Laborie, Nebraska Extension beef systems educator.
“Since we were unable to do in-person programming with beef producers when the pandemic hit, we turned to other methods as a way to share research-based information, one of which was the development of the Tailgate Talks video segments,” Laborie said.
Past topics include drought management, nutrition, breeding and pregnancy in cows, fly control and backgrounding calves, among others. Videos are produced biweekly and last approximately two to three minutes.
“Time is one of our most valuable resources, and it can be challenging for beef producers to find the time to invest in continuing education,” Laborie, said.
Laborie is co-creator of Tailgate Talks along with Sydney O’Daniel, former Nebraska beef Extension educator.
Currently, videos are produced by Laborie and Hannah Greenwell, Nebraska beef Extension educator, as well as other invited Nebraska Extension educators who talk about topics related to their field.

Nebraska Farm Bureau Joins Food and Agriculture Climate Alliance
The Nebraska Farm Bureau (NEFB) Board of Directors voted recently to join the Food and Agriculture Climate Alliance. The group consists of organizations representing a cross-section of farmers, ranchers, forest owners, the food sector, state governments, and environmental advocates that are working together to develop and promote shared climate policy priorities.
“Farmers and ranchers are on the frontlines of climate impacts and we support how the alliance is addressing climate change. The alliance is united around three principles, support voluntary market and incentive-based policies, advance science-based outcomes, promote resilience, and help rural economies better adapt to changes in the climate,” said Nebraska Farm Bureau President Mark McHargue. “The recommendations put forth by the alliance ensure farmers and ranchers will be respected and supported as society pushes for climate-smart practices.”
Momentum for climate action is growing in Congress, the administration, and the private sector. As always, a collective voice is stronger than any one alone. Advocating for the right policies, which include voluntary market and incentive-based solutions, will help to prevent a move toward the punishing policies discussed a decade ago.
“The reality is that agriculture can play a positive role in responding to the calls for further reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and building greater resilience throughout the food value chains. At the same time, efforts undertaken by farmers and ranchers to meet GHG reduction goals should always make financial sense,” McHargue said.
Today’s farmers and ranchers have already done a tremendous amount to reduce agriculture’s carbon footprint. By reducing tilling, rotating crops, planting cover crops, and emphasizing crops that can capture carbon, they have reduced their carbon footprint.
“We are proud of the advancements farmers and ranchers have made on the sustainability front. The founding principles of the alliance line up perfectly with where NEFB believes the discussion about climate policy should center,” McHargue said.
Members of the Food and Agriculture Climate Alliance include American Farm Bureau, the Nature Conservancy, National Council of Farm Cooperatives, Environmental Defense Fund, and the National Farmers Union, among others.
Rural Prosperity Nebraska receives boost from CARES Act
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Rural Prosperity Nebraska initiative, along with six Nebraska economic development and Chamber of Commerce organizations, has received more than $400,000 in funding through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, administered by the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) to help businesses and communities respond to coronavirus.
Rural Prosperity Nebraska, a new initiative housed within UNL’s Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, connects faculty, staff and students from across the University of Nebraska system with rural community leaders to understand and address issues and opportunities faced by rural communities. Nebraska Extension, a vital component of RPN, will work with the leaders to better understand ways in which the pandemic affected businesses and entrepreneurs in rural communities, to understand their needs, and ultimately to help them recover and thrive.
This project proposes to reach 143 businesses and entrepreneurs. Extension will work with the Chambers of Commerce in Columbus, Hastings and Grand Island, and with county economic development agencies in Broken Bow, Ord and Valentine. Their goal is to better understand pandemic impacts to local businesses, as well as to identify the supports and resources business and entrepreneurs need to move forward. Work on the project has already started.
Entrepreneurs in prosperous communities build the businesses, infrastructure, and opportunities needed to attract and retain residents, create quality of life and sense of place, and foster ongoing economic sustainability. The Entrepreneurial Communities program focuses on how community leaders and residents can create an entrepreneurial ecosystem which finds, supports, and creates entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial opportunities to help their community achieve long-term prosperity.
“There is an unprecedented need for becoming an entrepreneurial community,” said Don Macke, co-founder of the National e2 Entrepreneurial Ecosystems Initiative. “It is foundational to restarting your economy, ensuring sustained economic recovery and an opportunity to grow a more resilient economy.”
Grant funding will be used to hire three halftime business coaches to work directly with businesses in the participating areas.
“Coaches may work with businesses to expand their online presence, apply for funding support, or receive customized training with other entrepreneurs in their community,” said Shawn Kaskie, Extension educator and project principal investigator.
The funding comes at a critical time. The pandemic has had a significant financial impact on many employers and communities in rural Nebraska. A July 2020 study conducted by several economists from UNL and the University of Nebraska at Omaha revealed employer concerns of closing or going out of business; financial impact on operations, liquidity and capital; and decreasing consumer confidence.
When employers in the survey were asked to estimate the impact of the pandemic on their revenue and employment in 30 days compared to current levels, they reported a 43% loss of total revenue, contributing to 35% fewer employees, compared to normal years during this period.
“At this point in time, the key to our community’s growth is to capitalize on opportunities for business start-ups, expansions and transitions,” said Kristina Foth, interim executive director of Valley County Economic Development and Ord Area Chamber of Commerce. “The chance to engage a business coach as part of our community development team will enhance our capacity to support aspiring and current entrepreneurs who are right here in our local community.”
"The Rural Prosperity Project is one of the most useful tools we’ve had in years," said Mike Burge, the economic development director in Valentine. "The entrepreneurial spirt is alive and well in rural Nebraska and any help we can get through the Entrepreneurship Coach will help [entrepreneurs] through the crucial startup phase of any business."
Those involved with the project hope that it can serve as a model for other rural businesses affected by the pandemic. Results will be shared with community development organizations throughout Nebraska and across the Midwest.
"We're grateful to have been selected to receive this grant,” said Andrew Ambriz, executive director of the Custer County Economic Development Corporation in Broken Bow. “We're confident that, through this program, we'll be able to better support our local business owners and entrepreneurs especially through this period of recovery from the pandemic. It's critical that this program expands our capacity as community members and organizations to better serve and grow our local businesses."
IANR, NSRI WILL PARTNER TO CREATE NEW BIODEFENSE LAB
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the National Strategic Research Institute at the University of Nebraska will begin a five-year partnership to help safeguard the U.S. food supply.
The new NSRI Collaborative Biosecurity Laboratory will bring together researchers from NSRI and IANR to increase research and development in the following areas:
> Agricultural and natural resources security, defense and countermeasures;
> Biological defense in support of the U.S. Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security and other government stakeholders;
> Development and deployment of biosurveillance, biodetection and diagnostic tools;
> Pandemic preparedness related to human, livestock and crop plant diseases that could result in disruptions to the U.S. and global food systems.
“Nebraska is the epicenter of agriculture in the United States and a leader in both agricultural and military innovation,” said Mike Boehm, NU vice president and Harlan Vice Chancellor for IANR. “This is a natural and extremely promising partnership that will help safeguard and advance our critically important food supply.”
The lab will be located in the Morrison Life Sciences Research Center on East Campus, adjacent to other molecular life scientists, biomedical engineers and the Nebraska Center for Virology. This location will create opportunities for NSRI researchers, staff and program leaders to engage with faculty, students and staff throughout IANR and the university.
Joshua Santarpia, NSRI research director of chem/bio programs and associate professor of microbiology and pathology at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, will lead the lab.
“I have been looking for ways to grow UNL’s involvement in biodefense research at NSRI for several years,” Santarpia said. “The researchers at the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources are leaders in their fields and could be valuable contributors to NSRI’s mission.
“To have an NSRI lab on campus, in the Morrison Center, is a huge win for NSRI and will allow us to grow new research programs together. Further, many of the novel technologies and approaches NSRI has developed for biological defense could find new applications in detection, prevention and treatment of animal and crop disease. I’m very excited about the possibilities.”
NSRI is one of just 14 University Affiliated Research Centers in the country designated by the Department of Defense. With NU researchers and students, as well as academic and private partners, the institute helps the department and other federal agencies meet evolving national security objectives in multiple domains through research, development and training.
Since it was established in 2012 by NU and its sponsor U.S. Strategic Command, NSRI has received $298 million in contract and grant awards from the Department of Defense and federal government, collaborating with hundreds of NU researchers and students to deliver on 124 contracts.
“The opening of this lab on the campus of Nebraska’s Big Ten university is a growth milestone for NSRI,” said retired Maj. Gen. Rick Evans, NSRI interim executive director. “As an integrated partner with both NU and the Department of Defense, NSRI can take significant steps toward our mission through this facility to deliver research, technology and training that will help keep our warfighters and country safe. I am looking forward to seeing the outcomes of this collaboration.”
The Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources is committed to providing food, fuel, feed and fiber to a growing world in a way that promotes the resilience of natural resources and provides high quality of life for those engaged in agriculture. IANR is made up of the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, Agricultural Research Division, Nebraska Extension, and the ARD and extension components of three departments in the College of Education and Human Sciences.
Dairy groups stress holistic approach to milk pricing reform in letter to Vilsack
Five Midwestern dairy groups that are evaluating solutions to federal milk pricing issues, which were aggravated by the pandemic, explained their comprehensive focus this week to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
The groups — the Dairy Business Association, Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative, Minnesota Milk Producers Association, Nebraska State Dairy Association and South Dakota Dairy Producers — said in a letter to Vilsack that if there were to be a Federal Milk Marketing Orders emergency hearing about reform, as some other organizations have called for, it’s important that it be broad in scope.
In April, the groups put forth a proposal called Class III Plus, aimed at creating long-term stability in fluid milk pricing and reducing the likelihood of negative producer price differentials, which began cutting into farmers’ revenue last year during the pandemic.
In this week’s letter, they said they “are not putting forward Class III Plus out of strong desire to have an FMMO hearing now. Instead, we are sharing it publicly and with USDA to show there are differences of opinion within the dairy community over how to proceed and because we think it is a better and more forward-thinking concept than what NMPF (National Milk Producers Federation) has said they plan to propose.”
NMPF’s plan, announced last month, would change the current Class I fluid milk price mover by adjusting the amount every two years based on conditions over the prior 24 months, with the current mover remaining the floor.
The groups say NMPF’s proposal would improve a few components of the current pricing structure, but largely focuses on the short term and revenue that farmers did not earn in 2020.
Class III Plus would tie the Class I price to the Class III (cheese) skim milk price plus an adjuster and do away with advanced pricing, a cause of the negative PPDs. The proposal is also revenue-neutral, therefore more equitable among farmers, processors and customers. The groups say it provides a way for farmers to recoup some of the revenue they might have missed out on in 2020, and also creates stability going forward, including protection from negative PPDs and better risk management ability.
“We believe in order reform, but we would prefer to tackle more than just Class I pricing if we are going to go to the trouble and effort of having a hearing with national scope,” the groups said in the letter. “Ultimately, the dairy community might not be ready yet to tackle a hearing with a broad scope, but we are working to prepare ourselves and our members for that discussion if and when it comes.”
Council Helps Connect Dots On Corn And Ethanol In India
The U.S. Grains Council (USGC) recently participated in the biannual Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) Maize Summit, at which both Amit Sachdev, USGC representative in India, and Kansas Corn Commission Executive Director Greg Krissek spoke about the potential for corn in India.
While Sachdev weighed in on production, supply and demand of Indian and U.S. corn, Krissek told the story of how U.S. producers have used technology to boost production and then diversify uses for corn while serving the domestic industry and creating value-added products for domestic and international markets. Both mentioned that India could do the same and not only increase its access to feed for livestock, but also meet its environmental goals by using corn for manufacturing ethanol.
“India wants to double its supply of corn, and this was a first opportunity to demonstrate U.S. corn industry best practices that India could model to fit its own need,” said Alejandra Danielson Castillo, USGC director for South Asia.
Having a broader conversation during this event about the types of technology that boosted U.S. corn yield and production allowed the Council to illustrate how the U.S. ethanol industry grew and how practices like precision agriculture, crop protection and soil management could help India meet its dual goals of feeding its population and addressing its environmental concerns.
“We were able to connect the use of technology in our farming practices as the source of the increase in U.S. production and how this increase translated to a robust domestic market that gave birth to the ethanol industry, which is now helping to supply the world,” Danielson Castillo said.
Krissek has been personally involved in the Council’s India outreach, including attending the Society of Indian Auto Manufacturers’ Indian Auto Show in 2020. There, he met with government and private sector officials to talk about ethanol, which led to an invitation to the FICCI event.
During the Summit, held April 16, Krissek showed how the U.S. has increased and maximized corn production without jeopardizing the poultry and starch industries, a concern for government and industry professionals in India. He also demonstrated how a thriving ethanol industry creates more value-added products like distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS) that can sustain India’s livestock.
“I was honored to speak about the corn supply and demand experience in the United States over these past 10 to 12 years, in which our farmers responded to market growth using technology improvements in sustainable ways to more than adequately supply our customer needs in the livestock and biofuels sectors,” Krissek said. “Farmers want to produce their crop and will respond with great gusto when the private sector demand signals and government public policy are clear and motivating.”
Because of low yields and other geographical constraints, India lacks availability of nutritious feed for its livestock sector, so considering genetically modified (GM) crops as a feed supplement for livestock could provide a solution. However, GM cotton is the only crop developed with biotechnology currently approved by the Indian government for use in the market.
“We have an opportunity here,” Danielson Castillo said. “At a time when India continues to struggle to meet its goals of being self-sustainable and its other climate commitments, investing in this sector is important. And it does not mean harming the domestic industry, but rather allowing domestic access to better tools so they can become competitive in the international market.
"This fits into the Council’s strategy in India as it is very important to highlight that everything is connected. Investing in technology – be it better seeds, better soil management practices and use, less fertilizers and fumigations, access to better farm equipment – are all factors that have led to the growth of the U.S. corn industry and are tools India could also get benefits from.”

Statement from Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on the Confirmation of Dr. Jewel Bronaugh as Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack issued the following statement on the confirmation of Dr. Jewel Bronaugh as Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture:
“I am grateful for today's confirmation of Jewel Bronaugh as Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Dr. Bronaugh’s confirmation is historic, as she will serve as the first Black woman and woman of color to serve as Deputy Secretary. Dr. Bronaugh has a long, distinguished career as an educator and champion for farmers and rural communities. Most recently as the 16th Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services she worked to expand opportunities for small and midsized farmers and ranchers to obtain infrastructure and processing capabilities, and developed strategies to meet environmental and water quality goals for the Chesapeake Bay. As Dean of the College of Agriculture at Virginia State University, Dr. Bronaugh inspired many first-generation college students from rural communities to become outstanding leaders in their fields. That is understandable considering her positive, uplifting nature. She speaks respectfully of producers and rural Americans, and believes that as a public servant, her job is to find a way to help those who need it. I look forward to working with Dr. Bronaugh to ensure USDA lives up to its calling as the People’s Department, to be a Department that serves all people equally and fairly.”
About Dr. Jewel Bronaugh
Dr. Jewel H. Bronaugh was appointed the 16th Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services in 2018 by Governor Ralph Northam. She previously served as the Virginia State Executive Director for the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA), appointed by Governor Terry McAuliffe and then-U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack, in July 2015. Prior to her FSA appointment, she served as Dean of the College of Agriculture at Virginia State University (VSU) with oversight of Extension, Research and Academic Programs.

CPA Praises Senate Committee Passage of Online Country-of-Origin-Labeling
The Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA) today applauded the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation for passing with overwhelming bipartisan support Senator Tammy Baldwin’s (D-WI) COOL Online Act, which was added as an amendment to the Endless Frontier Act (S. 1260). The bipartisan COOL Online Act would mandate that country-of-origin labeling (COOL) be clearly and conspicuously stated in any website description of a product. This would protect Americans’ right to know where the products they buy are made and help promote goods that are made in America.
“Americans want to know where the products they buy are made,” CPA Chair Zach Mottl said. “Today, the Senate Commerce Committee took an important step in making sure that U.S. consumers have that information when they are shopping online. On behalf of CPA and our members — hard-working men and women who are committed to producing things in America — I urge the full Senate to swiftly pass Senator Baldwin’s COOL Online Act.”
Under current U.S. law, a product’s external packaging must state its country of origin. However, e-commerce has made distinguishing an item’s place of origin more difficult. Websites often do not display the country-of-origin for a product since labeling laws were written before the advent of internet shopping. Last month, CPA highlighted how hundreds of millions of dollars worth of copycat goods and stolen IP are coming in from China as American consumers continue to shop online, with their orders going directly to Chinese manufacturers.
“CPA was proud to support Senator Baldwin and her colleagues for introducing this important legislation in the last Congress,” said Michael Stumo, CEO of CPA. “Today, we applaud the Senate Commerce Committee for passing this important bill that will help consumers learn where the products they purchase on the Internet are made. For too long, countries like China have sold counterfeit, unsafe, and shoddy goods to unwitting Americans. By requiring online country-of-origin-labeling, U.S. consumers will have more information to find quality, American-made products.”
CPA strongly supports the COOL bill, particularly in light of growing consumer interest in buying domestically produced items. The new bill would mandate a prominent country-of-origin description for all products sold online as well as clear disclosure of the country in which the seller of the product is located.
