The latest agricultural land management and leasing considerations for 2024 will be covered during two virtual landlord/tenant cash rent workshops hosted March 27 and 28. The March 27 date is geared toward Central and Western Nebraska and March 28 is geared toward Eastern Nebraska. The content in both sessions will essentially be the same, with examples possibly varying depending on the part of the state.

Nemaha County 4-H Spring Fairgrounds clean-up that was scheduled for Tuesday, March 26th at 6:00 PM has been rescheduled to Thursday, April 18th at 6:00 PM due to forecasted unfavorable weather conditions. Please plan on joining us on the 18th to help get rid of all the leaves and trash that blew in over the winter.

Nebraska Extension Nemaha County 4-H is offering Take & Make 4-H Projects. 4-H enrollment is not required. Projects are elibigle for entry in the 2024 Nemaha County Fair. Choose from Artificial Flower Wreaths ($18.00), River Rock Trivets ($10.00), Beaded Keychain ($10.00), or Activity Block ($15.00).
Youth ages 5-18 are invited to join us to learn everything you need to know about growing flowers. From starting seeds indoors, to planting outdoors and taking care of the flowers until harvest. Youth will start some seeds at the workshop and go home with more seeds to plant on their own. Youth can then bring the flowers to the fair.
Spring is here, officially, but that doesn’t mean we should get overly excited and go clean up our landscape beds just yet. However, Asparagus will soon be emerging from previous plantings and new plantings can be started soon.
Winter can sometimes be very long, especially for a gardener. It is hard for us to stay indoors in the cold weather when we want to be outside working in our garden year-round. However, you can start your growing season early by starting seeds indoors. I have taken up the hobby of starting seeds indoors and it has continually expanded every year because I am enjoying it so much.
