November 1, 2024 (Lincoln, Neb.)&nbsp;&nbsp;— After several weeks on the road, the Huskers return home to Memorial Stadium tomorrow and the Nebraska State Patrol encourages fans to be focused for an important gameday.

“It will be great to get Husker fans back together in Lincoln on Saturday. Let’s all work together to make gameday safe on the roads and at the stadium,” said Colonel John Bolduc, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. “With a chance for rain during and after the game, fans should be patient on their drive home and be very cautious around pedestrians.”

The Nebraska State Patrol works closely with partner agencies on several aspects of gameday operations. Troopers partner with the Lincoln Police Department, Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office, UNL Police Department, and the Nebraska Department of Transportation to keep fans safe as they travel to and from the game, as well as in and around Memorial Stadium.

NSP also encourages fans to check Nebraska 511 for the latest information on construction zones and any potential detours that may become necessary. Fans can hear traffic reports from Trooper Brett before and after the game on the Huskers Radio Network broadcasts.

On the road:&nbsp;Fans should use routes recommended by the Nebraska Department of Transportation. Fans coming from the east should take I-180 into downtown Lincoln. Fans coming from the west should take Highway 77 to Rosa Parks Ways into downtown Lincoln.

In the stadium:&nbsp;Fans in need of assistance should contact any law enforcement officer or member of event staff. Fans can also text 402-472-0800 to reach stadium dispatch for assistance.

Anyone who observes a reckless driver or anyone in need of non-emergency roadside assistance can call *55 to reach the Nebraska State Patrol Highway Helpline. NSP’s portion of this effort is made possible thanks in part to grant funding from the Nebraska Department of Transportation – Highway Safety Office.

The Hot Sheets: November 1st, 2024

***Interviews with Landon Drews and Industrial Arts Teacher Corey Turner are located at the bottom of the article.

Paxton, Neb. - Earlier in the month, the POST met with Landon Drews, a sophomore at Paxton Schools and a member of the Paxton FFA chapter and his Industrial Arts Teacher Corey Turner to learn about Drews 2024 SAE Project and on Wednesday, Drews, Mr. Turner, Paxton students and supporters of Drews project made the trip to Paxton to watch the harvest of the dryland corn test plot.

The day, which began early Wednesday morning around 9:00am featured elementary school students being bussed over to the test plot to ask Drews questions about his project but also to learn more about different areas of agriculture.

"I'm so glad we got all the kids out here, it's so educational for them and I love having these people out here, I love the community out here and it makes me good and I like showing the community what we were doing at Paxton Schools," said Landon Drews&nbsp;

The middle and high school students came out late Monday morning and were split up in three separate groups to learn about the combine, chat with the seed dealers and learn about the crop and more, and finally also learned about the weigh wagon. The morning session was a good way for students to learn about different areas of agriculture during harvest season but also learn about the product itself from the seed dealers.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"We have a combine, and they (the students) are learning about the combine and how it works.... we got a weigh wagon which they are using for the test plot and every pass they make they will weigh the corn and then they will put it in the semi... the kids are learning about the weigh wagon and the semi..... we got some of our seed dealers inside talking about the corn plant itself, what the corn is used for and the different parts of the plant," said&nbsp;Industrial Arts Teacher Corey Turner.&nbsp;

The plot of land on highway 30 located by the Paxton Schools Bus Barn is owned by the school and farmers used to harvest the land before it was taken over by the school. Drews was approached in his 8th grade year by Mr. Turner about taking over the land and doing a project and since has taken off with it.&nbsp;&nbsp;

"Mr. Turner approached me at the end of my 8th grade year and said would you be interested in this and I really didn't know, I was kind of on the edge about it but than my freshman year I was kind of like let's get this done," said Drews. "My brother and I were sitting in the tractor discing a field around this time of year, and we were talking about how we should do a test plot, and I didn't think we were going to do a test plot originally and after that I got to get this done."&nbsp;

Mr. Turner wanted to pick a student to use the test plot of land and wanted that student to take charge of the project for more than a year.&nbsp;

"I wanted him to be able to see it through his whole high school career .... but he jumped on board first thing his freshman year and he has gone above and beyond for what I was expecting," said Turner.&nbsp;

For Drews project, the community support has been amazing and going around asking folks about wanting to donate or help with his project, folks jumped on board.&nbsp;&nbsp;Six different dealers helped support Drews project and those dealers are Channel, DeKalb, Golden Harvest, Becks, Hoegemeyer, and Pioneer. Hi-Line Coop sprayed the corn, and Harden Agency insured the crop from hail over the summer.&nbsp;

This project will hopefully help Drews earn his state degree and even earn his national degree.&nbsp;

Mid-Plains Community College Ogallala Campus’ Ready-to-Work: Building Construction Homes for Heroes program received a funding boost following a national pitch competition.

MPCC Ogallala Campus Administrator Mary Pierce and MPCC Dean of Outreach Gail Knott recently showcased the program during the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship Innovation in the Heartland Annual Conference held in Bloomington, Minn.

As a result of the program’s innovative approach, MPCC was awarded $20,000 from the Ratcliffe Foundation.

“We’re so grateful for these funds,” Pierce said. “This will allow us to move this program forward.”

Last spring, the MPCC Ogallala campus offered its inaugural Ready-to-Work Building Construction program. The course was designed to equip students with essential construction skills while addressing the critical need for skilled trades workers in western Nebraska. Led by instructor Casey Craig, students built a multi-use structure.

The initial program morphed into Ready-to-Work Building Construction: Homes for Heroes after the structure was purchased by The Connection, Lincoln County’s homeless shelter.

The building will become the laundry facility, anchoring a tiny home veteran community on property owned by The Connection in North Platte. The tiny homes will be built by students in the Ready-to-Work program at Ogallala and purchased by The Connection.

Craig said the building of tiny homes will be a huge benefit to the students and the local workforce.

“Housing is one of our most basic human needs and without it, individuals experience higher rates of chronic physical and mental health conditions, violence and mortality,” said Ashley Lewis, Director of The Connection. “The Connection Homeless Shelter is grateful to partner with Mid-Plains Community College in creating accessible, quality housing for our veterans who are experiencing homelessness through the Ready-to-Work program.”&nbsp;

Students are currently being recruited for the non-credit program, and those who successfully complete it will be awarded a certificate of achievement.

In addition to the Ratcliffe Foundation funds, the college was awarded a one-year subscription to SkillPointe, a technology platform that provides a pathway for in-depth career exploration for students. The Ready-to-Work program also is supported by a Teaching Nebraska Trades grant from Nebraska Investment Finance Authority. Additional funding sources and in-kind donations continue to be sought.

For further information on the program, partnerships and student recruitment, contact Pierce or Knott at&nbsp;<a href="mailto:piercem@mpcc.edu">piercem@mpcc.edu</a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="http://knottg@mpcc.edu/">knottg@mpcc.edu</a>.

10/29 North Platte City Council Special Meeting, Tonight's Agenda

October 29, 2024 (North Platte, Neb.)&nbsp;&nbsp;— Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol have arrested three people after locating 38 pounds of suspected methamphetamine during an encounter at a gas station near Hershey.

Saturday at approximately 4:40 p.m., a trooper was getting gas at a truck stop on Interstate 80 at the Hershey interchange when he encountered the occupants of a Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Jeep had five occupants, including three adults and two small children. During that contact, the trooper became suspicious of criminal activity.

A search of the vehicle revealed numerous packages of suspected methamphetamine concealed inside a large subwoofer box. The total weight of the methamphetamine was 38 pounds.

The three adults, identified as Andres Florentino-Fortunato, 29, Armando Arroyo, 47, and Daniela Torres-Hernandez, 23, all of Mexico, were all arrested for possession of methamphetamine, possession with intent to deliver a hazardous drug, and intentional child abuse – no injury. All three were lodged in Lincoln County Jail. The two children were placed in protective care.

Union Pacific Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results

OMAHA, Neb.&nbsp;—&nbsp;The Nebraska Bankers Association announces Amanda A. Hoover, chief financial officer at Adams Bank &amp; Trust in Ogallala, Neb., as the recipient of the inaugural Alice Dittman Trailblazer Award for Women in Banking. The award was presented at the NBA's 2024 Women in Banking Conference.

Named in honor of Alice Dittman—a pioneering figure in Nebraska's banking and business sectors—the award recognizes a young, female banker. Nominees are evaluated based on their contributions to and impact on their bank, leadership and service to their community and their commitment to the banking industry and the NBA.

Hoover serves as the chief financial officer of both Adams Bank &amp; Trust and its holding company, Adbanc, Inc. In her role, she has led the development of standardized processes and procedures that have improved the bank’s efficiency. Her leadership extends beyond her title, as she actively mentors junior staff members, shaping the next generation of banking professionals.

In nominating Hoover for the award, Executive Vice President Jessop Adams highlighted several examples of her leadership in streamlining processes to improve the bank's efficiency. "From the time she was first elevated to the CFO role, she has demonstrated a willingness to tackle issues hands-on," Adams said. "Her ability to dive into the details and her innovative approach to problem-solving have been key to driving the bank’s continued growth and success."

Hoover's involvement with the NBA includes serving two terms on the NBA Government Relations Committee, including a term as its chair. She is also a member of the NBA Leadership Class of 2014 and a graduate of the Graduate School of Banking at Colorado.&nbsp;

Hoover has also made significant contributions to her community. As a founding committee member and treasurer, she was instrumental in the creation and growth of the Keith County Big Give, which has become the largest non-profit fundraising event in Keith County. Hoover is a Keith County Area Leadership Development graduate, and her community service includes active involvement in the Ogallala Rotary Club, the Ogallala Hospital Advisory Board, Keith County Foundation Fund Advisory Committee, Nebraska Community Foundation Audit Committee and P.E.O Chapter CL.

As part of the award, recipients receive $1,000 to be donated to a charity of their choice. Hoover has chosen to direct her donation to the Keith County Big Give.

"Amanda Hoover exemplifies the qualities the Alice Dittman Trailblazer Award was created to honor," said Richard Baier, president and CEO of the NBA. “Her accomplishments, both within the banking industry and in her community, set a powerful example for women in banking, and we are proud to recognize her many contributions and ongoing impact."

Alice Dittman was a true trailblazer in Nebraska's banking and business arenas. She began her career at Cornhusker Bank in Lincoln in 1948, where she held various roles, eventually serving as president, CEO and chair of the board. Dittman was the first woman to chair the Nebraska Bankers Association and also led both the Lincoln and Nebraska Chambers of Commerce Boards of Directors. Renowned for her generosity and dedication to mentoring, she inspired many young women to pursue careers in banking, finance, and business.

UNL&nbsp;Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources

Lincoln, Neb. —Nebraska net farm income is projected to decline in 2024, according to a new report from the Rural and Farm Finance Policy Analysis Center.

The center, working with agricultural economists from the&nbsp;<a href="https://cap.unl.edu/">Center for Agricultural Profitability</a>&nbsp;at the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.unl.edu/">University of Nebraska-Lincoln</a>, said in its “Fall 2024 Nebraska Farm Income Outlook” that Nebraska’s 2024 net farm income is estimated at $7.69 billion.

After record-setting farm income levels in 2023, Nebraska farm income declines in 2024. “In 2024, total farm receipts are projected to decline by $1.40 billion (-4%), as the $1.16 billion (6%) increase in livestock receipts would only partially offset the $1.64 billion (-12%) fall in crop receipts and the $0.90 billion (-52%) reduction in crop insurance indemnities,” said the report.&nbsp;

Despite declining 17% in 2024, Nebraska net farm income is still expected to become the third highest on record, following 2023 and 2021. The report also compares the projected 17% reduction in state net farm income to the projected 6.2% decline in the U.S. net farm income projected by Mizzou’s Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI-MU).

Other key findings from the report include:

“As producers are adapting to current market realities of falling commodity prices and rising production expenses, but the coming year presents challenges but also opportunities for long-term profitability,” said Brad Lubben, an agricultural policy specialist with Nebraska Extension and a co-author of the report. "While Nebraska farm income is expected to decline further in 2025, the state's diversified agricultural base, notably continued strength in its livestock sector, will continue to play a crucial role in mitigating the impacts of lower crop prices and production challenges."

The Fall 2024 Farm Income Outlook is co-published by the Center for Agricultural Profitability at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and RaFF at the University of Missouri, which provides objective policy analysis and informs decision makers on issues affecting farm and rural finances. The center collaborates with a number of states to develop farm income projections with local expertise.

“RaFF’s Farm Income Outlook for calendar years 2024 and 2025 is intended to inform policymakers, industry analysts, and agricultural practitioners about the expected profitability of the local agricultural sector and its main drivers. RaFF’s state-level projections complement and add granularity to national projections by the USDA and FAPRI-MU, providing valuable insights on local agricultural trends” said RaFF Director Alejandro Plastina.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Lubben and Plastina will present a webinar covering 2024 Nebraska and U.S. farm income and outlook at noon Central time on Oct. 31. Registration is free at&nbsp;<a href="https://cap.unl.edu/farm-income">https://cap.unl.edu/farm-income</a>.

 <li>Despite an increase in production levels for field crops, lower prices reduce crop receipts by 12% in 2024. Lower corn and soybean receipts account for a majority of the decline in receipts.&nbsp;</li><li>Nebraska’s cattle inventory is projected to grow slightly in 2024, increasing by 164,000 head, as forage conditions improve across the state. Livestock receipts are projected to increase by $1.2 billion in 2024.&nbsp;</li><li>Production expenses are set to increase in 2024, as rising purchased livestock, and rent expenses offset reductions in feed, fertilizer, and fuel expenses.&nbsp;</li>
