The Hot Sheets: January 14th, 2025

Stapleton, Neb. - The community of Stapleton has been working on raising funds for a new splash pad for the community to enjoy during the warm months at the Village of Stapleton Park. Since 2023, funds have been raised between grants and fundraisers.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The project has brought in a total of $148,000 at this time but still needs to raise $17,000 by February 28th to purchase vertical features for the splash pad. Vertical features include the bucket dump, spray cannons and arches.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Stapleton&nbsp;Committee is hoping enough community donations or more grant money is received in order to purchase the remaining vertical features. As of now, 77 bricks have been purchased but are still 23 shy of the goal of 100 bricks. Brick purchases feature&nbsp;name, business, memorials, or messages with a donation of $100 or more.&nbsp;

North Platte, NE- NebraskaLand Bank is proud to announce the 2024 recipients of its “My Fair Share” program, an employee-driven initiative that has been making a difference in our community since 2004. Through this annual program, NebraskaLand Bank employees contribute a portion of their paychecks to support nonprofit organizations and causes that uplift our communities.

This year, thanks to the generosity of our incredible team, $16,000 will be distributed to eight deserving organizations, including Bridge of Hope, PAW-itive Partners, North Platte Area Children's Museum, North Platte Skate Park, Kearney Animal Shelter, Kearney Area Community Foundation, Hospice of Sweetwater County, and Sweetwater Family Resource Center.

The “My Fair Share” program stands as a testament to the culture of NebraskaLand Bank, where giving back isn’t just an act—it’s a way of life. Employees not only nominate organizations close to their hearts but also pledge their support throughout the year, embodying the spirit of generosity that drives our success.

Since the program’s inception, NebraskaLand Bank employees have collectively donated an astounding $232,000 to support meaningful causes.

Mike Jacobson, President and CEO of NebraskaLand Bank, reflected on the impact of this program, saying, “Every day, I am beyond grateful and proud of the staff at NebraskaLand Bank. While you are familiar with our staff volunteering their time at local events, you may not know that our employees routinely give a part of their paycheck. What an honor it is to lead such giving employees, who participate in worthy causes of giving back, and who go above and beyond. Robert Ingersoll said it well, ‘We rise by lifting others.’”

To celebrate the generosity of the NebraskaLand Bank employees, we invite you to join us on&nbsp;Friday, January 17, at 8:30 AM, in the Main Lobby on the first floor of NebraskaLand Bank, 1400 South Dewey, North Platte for the&nbsp;My Fair Share Breakfast&nbsp;and&nbsp;Check Presentations.

NebraskaLand Bank is committed to building a brighter future for the places we call home, and it is the generosity of our team that makes programs like “My Fair Share” possible. Together, we rise by lifting others.

Pals Brewing Company Celebrates new Lager Room with Ribbon Cutting

Lincoln, Nebraska, January, 2025— A multi-state extension workshop series for women in&nbsp; agriculture will offer strategies to evaluate and improve farm estate and transition plans.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“Leaving a Lasting Legacy for Midwestern Farm Women: A Succession Planning Series,” will&nbsp; be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Central time on Jan. 21, Jan. 28, Feb. 4 and Feb. 11 at sites across&nbsp; Kansas, Nebraska and Indiana. The series is being produced through a collaborative effort by&nbsp; extension programs at Kansas State University, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Purdue&nbsp; University.&nbsp;

Topics covered will include motivation for succession planning, communicating with family, the&nbsp; financial aspects of estate and transition plans, and the legal aspects of putting a plan in place. A&nbsp; keynote speaker will be simulcast to every workshop location during each meeting, with time for&nbsp; questions and a hands-on activity for participants. A meal will be provided on each date.&nbsp;

“Planning for what happens to your things when you’re gone can be daunting, but it’s so&nbsp; important, especially in agriculture, so that the transition to the next generation goes smoothly,”&nbsp; said Jessica Groskopf, director of the Nebraska Women in Agriculture program. “This series will&nbsp; help women learn best practices and new strategies to help the transition and estate planning&nbsp; processes so they can take that back to their farm or ranch and help lead the way in creating or&nbsp; reevaluating their plans.”

Groskopf said the program’s structure is intended to strengthen networks of women in rural&nbsp; areas, which can provide opportunities for building trust and sharing information. “Connections&nbsp; are so important to rural women,” she said. “We have seen the benefits that come from knowing&nbsp; your peers, having a place to share difficulties, and mitigate the isolation that so many of us in&nbsp; agriculture often feel.”&nbsp;

The registration fee for in-person attendance is $60 before Jan. 13 and increases to $75 on or&nbsp; after Jan. 13. A virtual option is available for $75. Participants are encouraged to attend all four&nbsp; sessions. More information and registration is available on the Nebraska Women in Agriculture&nbsp; website, https://wia.unl.edu/succession25.&nbsp;&nbsp;

This material is based upon work supported by USDA/NIFA under Award Number2023-70027- 40444.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Private Pesticide Applicator’s Certification Trainings Offered by Lincoln Logan McPherson Extension and Keith Arthur Extension

NORTH PLATTE, NEB.–– Nebraska Extension will offer commercial pesticide training for&nbsp; applicators who are seeking to recertify at the West Central Research, Extension and Education&nbsp; Center in North Platte.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The training program will offer a variety of dates for initial training and recertification for those&nbsp; interested in participating. All sessions will begin at 8:30 a.m., but it is recommended to arrive in&nbsp; a timely manner to check in.&nbsp;&nbsp;

There are several options for applicators that wish to recertify.
