Attorney General Mike Hilgers is pleased to announce the upcoming addition of a satellite location of the Nebraska Attorney General’s Office in Ogallala, Nebraska. The Attorney General’s Office currently has two outstate investigators in western Nebraska. The expansion is part of the Attorney General’s vision to have more on-the-ground presence to support law enforcement in Greater Nebraska. 

“This is an exciting day for our office. Opening this office will enhance our ability to recruit and retain talented lawyers to western Nebraska, and it will expand our ability to assist our law enforcement partners in this portion of the state,” Attorney General Hilgers expressed at the opening event in Ogallala.

The area is office and conference space shared within the Nebraska Association of County Officials (NACO) new office building, officially opened with a ribbon-cutting on Thursday, October 10th. 

"NACO is proud to have the Attorney General share our commitment to serving all areas of the state, partnering with us by using space in NACO's new facility in Ogallala," stated Jon Cannon, Executive Director, Nebraska Association of County Officials.

This satellite addition will increase the AGO's reach in supporting criminal cases when surrounding county attorneys seek support in prosecuting cases.

NORTH PLATTE, NEB.–– A photography exhibition celebrating 40 years of the University of&nbsp; Nebraska-Lincoln’s Nebraska Women in Agriculture program will be on display through Nov.&nbsp; 20 in North Platte at the West Central Research, Extension and Education Center, 402 W. State&nbsp; Farm Road.&nbsp;

A free lecture by Jessica Groskopf, director of Nebraska Women in Agriculture, will be held at&nbsp; the center at 6 p.m., on Nov. 18. She will speak about the historical role of women, their current&nbsp; challenges and their future involvement in agricultural sciences.&nbsp;

The exhibition, “Legacy of Leadership: Faces of Nebraska Women in Agriculture,” aims to&nbsp; highlight the vital role of women in Nebraska’s agricultural landscape with a collection of over&nbsp; 70 portraits captured at the 2024 Nebraska Women in Agriculture Conference by renowned&nbsp; photographer John Noltner. Each portrait is accompanied by the subject’s short answer to the&nbsp; question, “what has called you to this work?”&nbsp;

"We are thrilled to present this unique exhibition honoring the resilience, innovation and&nbsp; enduring impact of women in agriculture," Groskopf said. "Through these powerful portraits, we&nbsp; hope to encourage discussion about the important role of women in our state’s largest industry."&nbsp;

The traveling exhibit has been featured at this year’s Nebraska State Fair, Husker Harvest Days&nbsp; and in the Loft Gallery in the Nebraska East Union in Lincoln.

The Hot Sheets: October 12th, 2024

<a href="https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2024/10/08/nebraska-is-uniquely-positioned-to-lead-the-world-in-sustainable-agriculture/#:~:text=The%20path%20forward%20is%20clear.%20Nebraska%20is">Nebraska Examiner</a>

As Nebraska’s farmers bring in the harvest, it’s a reminder of the vital role agriculture plays in shaping our communities, economy and future. Built on generations of hard work, our state’s producers are key to ensuring a prosperous and sustainable agricultural legacy. It’s essential that their innovation and dedication are recognized and fully rewarded. That’s exactly why the Aksarben Foundation created the Full Value Agriculture initiative.

Launched in 2023, the initiative aims to connect Nebraska’s sustainably produced commodities with growing global market demand. Our mission is simple but critical: to ensure Nebraska’s agriculture is seen as the most sustainable ag supply chain in the world. Full Value Agriculture’s efforts focus on helping producers achieve economic profitability through sustainable practices and recognizing Nebraska as a leader in agricultural innovation.

As we celebrate our first year, I’m excited to share the progress we’ve made with the help of ag leaders across the state and our plans to further empower Nebraska’s producers.

Laying the foundation: Milestones from year one

The foundation of Full Value Agriculture was laid in Kearney, Nebraska, at the Governor’s Agricultural and Economic Development Summit in August 2023. At that summit, Full Value Agriculture was introduced as an initiative that would serve as a bridge between Nebraska producers and the global demand for sustainable commodities. Since then, we’ve been hard at work ensuring our vision becomes a reality.

One of the most significant accomplishments that we were a part of came in August 2024 when Gov. Pillen secured $307 million in federal funding through the state’s Priority Climate Action Plan and Implementation Grant application. This funding will provide vital resources to producers as they adopt sustainable agricultural practices and continue to contribute to Nebraska’s leadership in the agricultural sector. The collaborative effort involved leaders from agricultural organizations across the state, and we’re proud to have played a role in defining the strategy and securing these funds.

But our work didn’t stop at securing funding. Throughout the past year, we’ve engaged in critical discussions about the future of Nebraska’s agriculture. In December 2023, we convened agricultural leaders from across the state to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing our producers. The conversations focused on how best to position Nebraska’s agriculture for long-term success in a rapidly changing world.

Additionally, we traveled to communities like Alliance and North Platte in early 2024 with members of the governor’s team to gather public input on Nebraska’s climate action plan. These discussions helped shape a comprehensive strategy for our state’s agricultural and energy needs, ensuring that the voices of Nebraska’s producers were at the forefront of our efforts.

As we move into our second year, the future of Full Value Agriculture is bright. We’re dedicated to continuing our mission to support Nebraska’s producers through four key pathways:

The path forward is clear. Nebraska is uniquely positioned to lead the world in sustainable agriculture, and Full Value Agriculture is here to support the producers that will make that happen. Our producers deserve recognition and fair compensation for their hard work, and we’re committed to partnering with them to ensure that happens.

As we look to 2025 and beyond, we invite all Nebraskans to join us in celebrating the achievements of our state’s producers and supporting the work that lies ahead. Together, we can ensure a sustainable and prosperous future for Nebraska’s agriculture.

As the crops come in from the field, and producers are preparing for winter, we thank every producer who has contributed to the legacy of Nebraska’s agricultural success. We are proud to be in your corner.

North Platte Post/Sandhills Post&nbsp;

Sutherland, Neb. - Around 30 residents of Sutherland gathered at the American Legion Hall on S. Maple Street on Thursday to celebrate Lasting Legacies, hosted by the Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation. The event featured a pulled pork sandwich meal, live music from Sutherland Rascal Martinez, and a presentation celebrating legacies created in Sutherland.&nbsp;

Opening remarks were made by Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation president Dan O'Neill before passing the microphone over to Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation Executive Director Eric Seacrest who hosted a 25-minute presentation highlighting different legacies that have occurred in Sutherland whether it's grant money to the school system, scholarships for students and wrapping up the presentation telling the life of John Rusell Applegate and his grant created following his passing 2003 that benefits teachers and education.&nbsp;

The Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation serves 12 counites&nbsp;(Arthur, Custer, Dawson, Frontier, Hayes, Hooker, Keith, Lincoln, Logan, McPherson, Perkins, &amp; Thomas). During the presentation, Seacrest mentioned that the Sutherland School Foundation has received well over $20,000 in funds to benefit the school system.&nbsp;

Students in the region have plenty of opportunities to earn scholarships to help cover schooling. Over $25,000 in scholarship money was awarded to students in 15 awards.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation has awarded over 151 grants totaling over $300,000 for education. Earlier this year, the Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation awarded a grant to Hershey Public Schools which used the funds to bring in Justin Matott who is an anti-bullying advocate.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The John Russell Applegate&nbsp;for Teachers Training and Support Grant was created after the passing of John Russell Applegate in 2003. After his passing, he left around $2 million to the Mid-Nebraska Community Foundation which created grant funds for education, teachers training, and support.&nbsp;Over the last 20 years, $2.5 million has been awarded in the form of grants or scholarships.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Last year, the community foundation awarded over $300,000 in Betterment grants. Many grants/scholarships are open but get the application quickly as there are deadlines.

The Hot Sheets: October 10th, 2024

North Platte Post/Sandhills Post/Panhandle Post

Paxton, Ne – If you’ve driven through the small town of
Paxton in Keith County this summer, you may have noticed multiple seed corn
signs south of Highway 30 on the west side of town south of town. That ground
near the Paxton Schools Bus Barn is owned by the Paxton Consolidated School
District and used to be farmed by local farmers in the area…until last year. The POST spoke with Paxton Consolidated Schools Industrial Arts Teacher Corey Turner and Sophomore Landon Drews in a sit down recently. 

Mr. Turner said that Paxton Superintendent Del Dack had come to him two years ago, "he asked me if the FFA chapter would like to farm the ground down by the Schools Barn along Highway 30. I thought it'd be an opportunity for a kid. I had a senior year plant wheat the first year, and then spring of last year I went to Landon to ask of his interest. Then last fall he went to school board and they approved him to go ahead with it and he started getting the field, cleaned up. He's gone way beyond what I thought was gonna happen with it."

Landon Drews is a sophomore at Paxton, he was only a
Freshman when he was asked about taking on this FFA project. Drews went before the Paxton School Board last fall to find out if he could get sponsors to help him plant his corn crop. He say's that was a big part of this FFA project. "&nbsp; I think that part was the most important, getting in contact that was pretty easy to do. I know most of the guys around here, you call one guy and say hey would you like to be a part of the Paxton FFA and support us and they just all wanted to be part of it. They had no worries about it. We have six different dealers that helped support us so we had 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." Drews says it took them 5 1/2 hours plant that little peice of land because every time you went out, you had to come back and clean out the seed boxes on the planter.

In all it’s about 10 acres of dryland corn Drews and his
volunteers planted, Mr. Turner has used Landon’s project to teach others in his
class about putting a crop in the ground and tending to it, "I was able to take my students down. All of our FFA members got to go down and they helped clean out the planter and they got to ride in the tractor. We talked to different different dealers and they told them about the different varieties of seeds that they were putting in. So I mean that day right there was worth it to me just to get those other kids who don’t have the experience that Landon does. They don’t have the knowledge that he does in farming, and now they got some of that experience and knowledge firsthand.

On Wednesday, October 30th, Drews plans to
harvest his crop. Claas, Nebraska Harvest Center, in Ogallala is donating a combine to come pick the corn. Mr. Turner said the day will be a fun filled day for the entire Paxton School system. Elementary kids plan to come watch part of the day, his FFA and agriculture students plan to help also. Landon has also reached out to locals in the community who are donating hamburger which they cook burgers for the kids that day at the harvest site.&nbsp;

Mr. Turner says after the crop is out they plan to mill some
of the corn for feed that they’ll use to feed 3 cows the FFA tends too over the
winter, and likely they’ll put the cows out on the stocks over the winter.

You can see a video of Landon’s FFA project here, and listen to a full podcast between Corey Turner and Landon Drews with Derek Beck below on our Kubota Podcast.

Paxton FFA student helps turn school land into real working corn test plot (VIDEO)

October 9, 2024 (North Platte, Neb.)&nbsp;&nbsp;— Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol, with assistance from the Dawson County Sheriff’s Office, has arrested three people following a pursuit and search near Gothenburg on Tuesday.

At approximately 1:40 p.m. Tuesday, troopers were notified that a Kia Soul was being sought in connection with a stolen property investigation in Lexington. A trooper then saw the vehicle on Interstate 80 headed westbound. The trooper attempted a traffic stop near mile marker 219. The vehicle began to slow down, but then accelerated and fled at a high rate of speed. The trooper initiated a pursuit.

The Kia fled westbound, with speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour. The driver exited I-80 at the Gothenburg interchange and began traveling north into town. The trooper discontinued the pursuit out of concern for public safety. A short time later, another trooper saw the same vehicle traveling westbound on Highway 30. Another pursuit began and the vehicle fled northbound on Road 409, west of Gothenburg. The pursuit continued until the vehicle came to a stop in a field several miles northeast of town. The two occupants then fled on foot.

Troopers and deputies utilized drones, an NSP K9, and an NSP Aircraft to search the area. The two subjects were eventually located on a nearby farmstead and were taken into custody.

The driver, Steven Conner, 37, of Omaha, was arrested for flight to avoid arrest, willful reckless driving, obstructing a peace officer, criminal mischief, numerous traffic violations, and outstanding warrants. The passenger, Skyanne Christensen, 24, of Omaha, was arrested for obstructing a peace officer, criminal mischief, and an outstanding warrant. Troopers discovered that a third occupant has been dropped at a farmhouse just west of Gothenburg. That person, Kayla Tatum, 29, of Omaha, was located walking along Highway 30 and arrested for obstructing a peace officer.

All three were lodged in Dawson County Jail.
