@usdagov reports the blooming of 16% of NE soybean

@usdagov reports the blooming of 16% of NE soybeans. (Compared to a 3% average in 2015-2019)
-
The soybean is a self-pollinating plant, which means pollen produced within the flower can fertilizer the same flower on the same plant. A single plant can produce seed and essentially clone itself. Soybean plants produce many more flowers than they need, so many flowers never produce pods.

Why do farmers love biodiesel?
-
Because it’s made from diverse agricultural feedstocks—such as soybean oil and animal fats—which helps increase your bottom line. And, that’s just the beginning. Biodiesel offers big benefits with no impact on performance, and it can be used in existing diesel engines without modification.
-
Isn’t it time you fueled your operation with biodiesel?

One U.S. farm feeds 166 people annually in the U.S. and abroad. The global population is expected to increase by 2.2 billion by 2050, which means the world’s farmers will have to grow about 70% more food than what is now produced.

Food pantries are under a lot of pressure right no

Food pantries are under a lot of pressure right now to provide food to those in need, and the Alliance for the Future of Agriculture in Nebraska (AFAN) is working to assist. AFAN, in partnership with the Nebraska Department of Agriculture and various commodity organizations, announced a grant program designed to help food pantries purchase needed refrigerator and freezer units to store perishable food. Refrigerators and freezers allow food pantries to safely store milk, dairy products, meat, fresh produce and other perishable goods that their clients want and need.
-
AFAN is administering this grant program which allows food pantries to receive up to $4,000 for refrigerators, freezers and associated expenses. Full details on the program and an application to apply can be found on AFAN’s website, www.becomeafan.org, or by calling 402-421-4472.
