Damaging Hail and Flooding Rain Slam Nebraska Farm | In the Field Update
We're coming to you this week from Fillmore County, where flooding rains and damaging hail created new challenges for area producers last weekend. We spoke with Jared Kempf about the damage, the recovery effort, and what comes next for farmers as the growing season moves forward.

Management Decisions | Early hail damage
Recent hailstorms have left many producers wondering what comes next for their crops. The good news is that early-season hail damage doesn't always mean a total loss. Experts say the most important first step is giving the crop time to respond before making any management decisions.

Grain Markets | Jeff Peterson
Joining Bryce on Market Journal this week to discuss the latest grain market trends was Jeff Peterson. Here is their conversation from Thursday morning. 

Weekly Forecast | Eric Hunt
We're in Fillmore County this week, where producers are still assessing hail and flood damage from last weekend's storms. As we look ahead, what can Nebraskans expect from the weather in the week to come? Nebraska Extension's Eric Hunt has the forecast. 

Agriculture Data | New Law
Nebraska is at the forefront of a national debate over agricultural data. Governor Jim Pillen has signed a new law aimed at giving farmers greater control over information generated in their fields. But the issue is more complicated than it may seem.

Weed Management Field Day | SCAL
Producers looking to stay ahead of tough weeds won't want to miss the annual Weed Management Field Day on June 24th at UNL's South Central Agricultural Laboratory near Hastings. The event will feature research updates, field demonstrations and a firsthand look at the latest weed management tools available to corn and soybean producers.
