This Week's Show

October 16, 2026

In the Field Update | Northern Dodge County
Harvest continues across Nebraska, and for many producers, it's been a busy few weeks in the field. To get a firsthand look at how things are progressing, we turn to Chad Moyer, who joins us from Northern Dodge County with this week In the Field Update.

99th National FFA Convention and Expo
More than 70,000 FFA members, advisors and supporters will gather in Indianapolis in just a few days for the 99th National FFA Convention and Expo. Several Nebraska students will be taking the national stage, recognized for their hard work and accomplishments. Steve White takes us to a recent event that highlights where that journey begins for some of the organization's youngest members.

Cattle Markets | Dave Weaber
Cattle prices have been a bright spot for many producers, but there are some big questions about where the industry goes from here. Drought continues to complicate efforts to rebuild the nation's cow herd. And at the same time, changes in how cattle are raised and marketed could have some long-term implications for producers.

Will weather hold off for harvest | Eric Hunt
After some unseasonably warm temperatures to start the week, we've seen a shift to much cooler, more seasonable conditions across the region. What can we expect in the days ahead, and how might the forecast impact harvest activity? Nebraska Extension Ag Climatologist Eric Hunt has the answer. 

RoboCams | Mitigating problems in Ag
Robotics and artificial intelligence are rapidly developing industries within the agricultural landscape. These technological developments could help mitigate problems like weeds, disease and defoliation. During a recent trip to Scottsbluff, we got an inside look at how Extension researchers are utilizing ai camera systems to do just that.
