LINCOLN, Neb. — The Nebraska Corn Growers Association (NeCGA) is excited to announce the establishment of the Panhandle Corn Growers Association, representing corn growers in Banner, Box Butte, Garden, Morrill, Scotts Bluff and Sioux counties. The announcement follows the acceptance of a formal request to the NeCGA Board of Directors during its board meeting on June 17th in Broken Bow.

Andy Groskopf, president of the newly founded local association, presented the letter and officially requested affiliate status. Groskopf said the Panhandle Corn Growers Association aims to unify corn growers in western Nebraska under the shared belief of advancing the corn industry through leadership, advocacy, policy development and education.

Warnar Schaneman has been selected to serve as the Panhandle representative on the NeCGA state board. In this role, Schaneman will help ensure the voice and interests of Panhandle growers are represented at the state level.

“The formation of the Panhandle Corn Growers Association is a major milestone in the continued growth of the Nebraska Corn Growers Association,” said Michael Dibbern, president of NeCGA. “Our mission has always been to serve grassroots corn farmers across the entire state, and the need for local representation in western Nebraska has never been greater. We’re excited to welcome these growers and look forward to the leadership and perspective they’ll bring to the Association.”

In alignment with NeCGA’s mission, the Panhandle Corn Growers Association is committed to hosting annual promotional and educational events and actively participating in statewide activities. The group has also appointed a vice president and treasurer to support the local leadership structure and ensure operational effectiveness.

The addition of the local reinforces NeCGA’s commitment to building a statewide grassroots network of leaders dedicated to advancing Nebraska’s corn industry.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — Country superstar Eric Church takes the stage tonight at the Wild West Arena, headlining the first of two nights of concerts during the Viaero Wireless Summer Jam at NEBRASKAland Days.

Church, a former CMA Entertainer of the Year, is stepping in as a last-minute replacement for Luke Bryan, who canceled due to illness. Opening acts include rising country artist Ashley Cooke and Nebraska’s own Bayker Blankenship.

The music continues Saturday night, June 28, with performances from Angie K, Cooper Alan, and headliner Bailey Zimmerman.

Gates open at 5 p.m. both nights, with opening acts scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

NEBRASKAland Days Executive Director Bob Lantis is encouraging concert goers to plan ahead and arrive early, as crowds of more than 10,000 people are expected each night.

“Beat the traffic, get here early,” Lantis said. “The last thing we want is for someone to miss a performance because they were stuck in a parking line. Give yourself time to get through the front gates.”

Lantis also reminded attendees that a clear bag policy is in place. Items such as pocket knives, firearms, or anything that could be considered a weapon are not allowed and will be confiscated at the gate.

NEBRASKAland Days runs through Saturday, June 28.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — Antelope Road has been shut down between Hershey-Dickens and Parkway Road after recent rains caused significant washout, according to the Lincoln County Roads Department.

The Hershey Volunteer Fire Department is urging drivers to steer clear of the area, particularly Antelope Road East, due to unsafe conditions from the damage.

Officials have not provided an estimated timeline for when the road might reopen. The closure follows a string of weather-related road issues across the region, including Hidden Lakes Road, which also remains closed due to storm damage.

The roads department is reminding drivers to slow down and use caution when traveling in affected areas, and to report any additional damaged or flooded roads by calling 308-535-4008.

According to a trained spotter near Walker Road and Hershey-Dickens Road, the area saw approximately 2.5 inches of rainfall overnight. Over the past two days, the total rainfall in parts of Lincoln County has reached nearly 5 inches.

The Hot Sheets: June 26, 2025

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (June 25, 2025) — Country superstar Luke Bryan has canceled his headlining performance at NEBRASKAland Days’ Viaero Wireless Summer Jam this Friday night due to illness, event organizers announced at noon today.

In a surprise twist, fellow country hitmaker Eric Church — joined by longtime collaborator Joanna Cotten — will step in to headline the June 27 show at the Wild West Arena in North Platte.

Bryan shared the news directly with fans via social media, saying, “I’m really sorry to say I won’t be able to play this weekend’s shows due to continued illness. I’ve been hoping to rally, but my voice is not there. Huge thanks to my buddy Eric for stepping in last minute — and of course, putting on a kick-ass show like he always does. Sitting still is not what I do best, so I can’t wait to be back soon. Love y’all.”

Church responded in kind: “Festivals are part of the fabric of what made us who we are. Happy to fill in for Luke while he’s on the mend. Not a lot of time to plan or get the whole crew together, so I’m bringing Joe and we’re going to do something unique and spontaneous.”

NEBRASKAland Days Executive Director Bob Lantis said organizers were grateful for Church’s quick response. “We know fans were excited to see Luke Bryan and we join them in wishing him a speedy recovery,” Lantis said. “We’re incredibly fortunate to have a performer of Eric Church’s caliber ready to take the stage. He’s one of country music’s most dynamic entertainers and we’re confident he’ll deliver an unforgettable show.”

All tickets purchased for Bryan’s performance will be honored for Church’s appearance. No exchanges are necessary. Refund requests will be accepted until 5:00 p.m. CT on Wednesday, June 25.

Church joins a packed Summer Jam lineup that includes special guests Ashley Cooke and Baker Blankenship. Friday night’s concert is expected to draw thousands of fans to North Platte for one of the state’s biggest annual celebrations of country music.

BREAKING: Luke Bryan Cancels NEBRASKAland Days Performance; Eric Church to Headline Friday Night

LISTEN TO FULL INTERVIEW WITH OGALLALA CITY MANAGER

OGALLALA, Neb - The Ogallala City Council met Monday night for a wide-ranging agenda that included fireworks regulations, street improvement plans, nuisance abatement updates, and progress on a historic housing redevelopment project.

The meeting’s most anticipated item was the council's decision to lift the city’s temporary fireworks ban, following improved moisture levels in the area. City Manager Kevin Wilkins said the unanimous vote was made in coordination with the fire chief and other Keith County fire officials.

“With the rain we’ve had and what’s in the forecast, we feel confident in allowing the sale and discharge of fireworks this year,” Wilkins said during a radio interview Tuesday.

Fireworks sales and use will be permitted from June 30 through midnight on July 4. Wilkins emphasized public safety, urging residents to avoid lighting fireworks in grassy areas and to refrain from launching fireworks into the city pool—a recurring issue that has damaged equipment in previous years.

In place of the traditional aerial display, Ogallala will host a drone show on Saturday, July 5 at 10 p.m., accompanied by a synchronized soundtrack airing on local radio station Flat Rock 100.7.

Beyond fireworks, the council also discussed the city’s continued collaboration with PeopleService Inc. on water and wastewater management. While no major issues were reported, Wilkins said the city is still waiting on state funds to move forward with significant upgrades to its water treatment facility.

“It would be far more efficient for the state to release the money now so we can fix it properly, instead of putting expensive band-aids on,” Wilkins said.

Mary Wilson with the Keith County Area Development also addressed the council, highlighting regional land banking efforts and small business outreach. Ogallala economic developer Molly Jeffries made nearly 600 business contacts during the last reporting period as part of the city’s retention and expansion strategy.

On the zoning front, the council approved a historic district overlay for three former school properties, including the old high school and middle school. This designation will allow developers to pursue tax incentives and grants as part of a planned redevelopment project that includes 44 units of mixed-income housing. The project is expected to be complete by early 2027.

Additionally, 17 properties were declared nuisances as part of the city’s annual abatement program. These ranged from minor yard cleanups to more serious violations, such as unlicensed vehicles. A total of 135 properties were reviewed.

Council members also approved an engineering agreement for a major street reconstruction project downtown, with estimated costs nearing $600,000. Another proposal under review includes a new EMS ambulance barn to be located on the Ogallala Community Hospital grounds. Preliminary estimates suggest a price tag of around $1.5 million.

The council wrapped the meeting with board updates and Wilkins’ report, which again emphasized responsible fireworks usage during the upcoming holiday week.

“Be courteous, be safe, and shut it down early enough at night,” Wilkins said. “That’ll go a long way in reducing complaints.”

LISTEN TO CONVERSATION WITH SAM ELLIOTT

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — Deborah’s Legacy will host its annual Landscape and Garden Tour this Friday and Saturday, June 27–28, offering residents a chance to explore four of North Platte’s most picturesque gardens while supporting a Christ-centered recovery program for women.

The self-guided tour runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. both days. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under. They can be purchased in advance at Deborah’s Legacy, located across from Huebner's Nursery Lawn &amp; Garden, or at Bible Supplies. Limited tickets may also be available the mornings of the event at the downtown pop-up shop in Blackledge Park.

Sam Elliott, one of the event organizers, said during a recent radio interview that the tour not only showcases the creativity and hard work of local gardeners but also brings the community together in a meaningful way.

“Our gardeners have been working very, very hard to create fabulous spaces,” Elliott said. “It’s a joyful event. People leave inspired — sometimes even with a new plant or two.”

This year’s tour also includes a stop at Blackledge Park, where the Deborah’s Legacy pop-up shop will feature items handmade by women in the program, including garden accessories, T-shirts, and coffee. Proceeds from the event benefit Deborah’s Legacy, a nonprofit supporting women recovering from addiction, homelessness, and crisis.

Attendees will also be entered into a prize drawing that includes gift certificates, a large handcrafted planter box, and a ticket to the Sip &amp; Savor event at Dahlia Valley Ranch in Arnold.

“This is just a great way to start your summer morning — grab your friends, take your time through each garden, and maybe go to lunch afterwards,” Elliott said. “Friends don’t let friends go to a garden tour alone.”

For more information, visit Deborah’s Legacy or call ahead to check ticket availability.

The Hot Sheets: June 23, 2025

LISTEN TO FULL CONVERSATION WITH CONGRESSMAN SMITH

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (June 23, 2025) — Nebraska Congressman Adrian Smith said making key tax relief provisions permanent and curbing federal spending are top priorities as lawmakers debate what President Donald Trump has dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill.”

Speaking to the North Platte Post over the weekend, Smith, who represents Nebraska’s 3rd Congressional District, said the sweeping economic package — formally known as the reconciliation bill — is critical for the country’s financial future.

“If we don't get our work done on this bill, that means a roughly $1,500 tax increase for your average household, and more than $5,000 for your average farming operation,” Smith said, citing figures from the American Farm Bureau.

The reconciliation process, Smith explained, allows Congress to pass budget-related legislation with a simple majority in the Senate — avoiding the usual 60-vote threshold.

“The fact of the matter is, we've gotten the bill through the House already, which I think is good. We need to get our work done,” Smith said. “Some of these tax policies are currently on the books. We want to make that permanent. We certainly don’t want taxes to go up.”

Smith pointed to the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act as a model of pro-growth policy that boosted wages and encouraged investment across agriculture, manufacturing, and other sectors.

“Sometimes you listen to folks in Washington and they demonize prosperity so much, you'd never realize that actually our tax code depends very heavily on prosperity,” he said. “Even with the tax cut, businesses paid more in taxes because they were making more money — and that’s a good thing.”

Smith, who was in North Platte for a series of local meetings and events, emphasized that he considers Nebraska’s agricultural economy to be on “the front lines” of the nation’s economic engine.

He also said trade policy remains a top issue, both for Nebraska producers and the Trump administration.

“Hopefully we’ll have some trade agreements come together very quickly,” Smith said. “And land the plane, so to speak, on trade policy so that we can really be poised well heading into next year.”

The Senate is expected to take up the reconciliation bill in the coming weeks.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — June 21, 2025 — While the College National Finals Rodeo wrapped up in Wyoming this weekend, two college rodeo athletes made a splash at the professional level in Nebraska, claiming victories during the final night of the Buffalo Bill Rodeo in North Platte on Saturday.

Montana State University student Piper Cordes earned her first professional win in barrel racing, clocking in at 17.32 seconds aboard her 10-year-old gelding, Fiesta. The victory was especially meaningful for the Bozeman, Montana, freshman after a challenging college rodeo season.

“It was surreal,” Cordes said. “I’m glad all the ups and downs happened because it brought me here.”

Fiesta, whose dam Rosa was a six-time National Finals Rodeo qualifier with veteran barrel racer Lisa Lockhart, thrived in the wide-open layout of North Platte’s Wild West Arena.

In the bull riding, recent Sul Ross State University graduate Gavin Mitchell of Graford, Texas, was one of just three cowboys to make a qualified ride, scoring 77.5 points on Beutler &amp; Son Rodeo’s Six Shooter. Mitchell, who holds a degree in animal science, took home more than $5,500.

“My plan A is to ride bulls, and my plan B is to make plan A work,” said Mitchell, currently ranked fourth in the PRCA permit standings.

In breakaway roping, Cedar Jandreau of Kennebec, South Dakota, claimed the title with a quick 2.5-second run—just shy of the arena record. She rode a 5-year-old gelding named Dollar, owned by her father and trained by family friend Tate Cowan. The win comes after Jandreau spent last season recovering from a car accident that left her with two broken ankles.

Nebraska was well represented in steer wrestling, where Hoyt Kraeger of Weeping Water took home top honors with a combined time of 8.2 seconds on two head. Riding a horse trained by his brother Reed, who also hazed for him during the competition, Kraeger credited his win to the support of his family and team.

“It takes a lot of help,” Kraeger said. “You can’t do it yourself, especially in steer wrestling.”

Austin Hurlburt of Norfolk, Nebraska, was named the all-around champion (tie-down roping and steer wrestling).

During Saturday’s rodeo, the 2025 Trail Boss Award was presented to Deb Cox of Mullen, Nebraska. A lifelong horse trainer and barrel racer, Cox is celebrated for her six decades of involvement in the sport and her leadership in Rodeo Bible Camps.

The Buffalo Bill Rodeo is a central feature of NebraskalandDays, which continues next week with events including a prime rib feed, pickleball tournament, and concerts featuring Luke Bryan (June 27) and Bailey Zimmerman (June 28).

The Hot Sheets: June 19, 2025

NORTH PLATTE, Neb - The thunder of hooves and history returns to Nebraska this month as the 2025 Pony Express National Re-Ride makes its way across the state June 18–20, retracing one of the most storied mail routes in American history.

The annual 1,966-mile reenactment began in St. Joseph, Missouri, and will continue around the clock until reaching Sacramento, California. Riders carry a mochila—an iconic leather mail pouch—on horseback across eight states, passing through historic towns and landmarks just as riders did in 1860 and 1861.

In Nebraska, the ride kicks off Wednesday, June 18, at Lyman with a ceremonial handoff from Wyoming. Riders will gallop through key heritage stops including Scottsbluff National Monument, Chimney Rock, and on into central Nebraska.

Locally, the route will include events in Ogallala at Tri-Trails Park around 8:30 a.m. on June 19, celebrating the area's rich pioneer legacy tied to the Pony Express, Oregon Trail, and Texas Trail. Later, the riders will pass near North Platte and that evening, riders will pass south of Gothenburg near Midway Ranch—an important nighttime relay stop—and continue eastward toward Fort Kearny.

The original Pony Express operated only briefly—from April 1860 to October 1861—but its impact was lasting. Riders braved the elements to carry mail between Missouri and California in just 10 days, bridging vast distances before the transcontinental telegraph.

For communities like North Platte, once a vital hub on the Overland Trail and later the Union Pacific Railroad, the Pony Express symbolizes both frontier resilience and the foundations of modern communication.

This year’s ride offers a living history experience and a moment to honor the grit and courage of the young riders who helped shape the American West.
