This Week's Show
April 11, 2025
This past February was National Pesticide Safety Month, a good reminder to think about safety around chemicals on the farm. We sat down with Extension Educator Amy Timmerman to talk about pesticide safety--and why women may need to take a few extra precautions when it comes to exposure and application.
The camaraderie and exchange of ideas between participants, instructors, and facilitators are some of the most valuable parts of the Nebraska Ranch Practicum. This program gives producers a chance to tap into the latest research in range livestock production and marketing.

Trade continues to be a big talking point for Ag producers, especially as President Trump's tariff threats keep popping up in the headlines. Tredas's Doug Simon stopped by the studio Thursday morning to share his take on what these moves could mean--and how producers might want to respond.
Not a lot of moisture to speak of this past week and it feels like someone's been messing with the outdoor thermostat with all these temperature swings. Nebraska Extension Ag Climatologist and "Market Journal" Chief Meteorologist Eric Hunt lets us know what he’s tracking for the week ahead.
You might remember that last month, our team was on the ground at the Commodity Classic in Denver. While we were there, we heard directly from Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins about a new plan from the Trump administration's USDA aimed at helping farmers tackle lower commodity prices and rising input costs. The program is called ECAP, The Emergency Commodity Assistance Program.
