It has been a joy to write 137 columns over the past 4.5 years for farmers, agronomists, and landowners in southeast Nebraska. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you as a local University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension Educator. My last day with Nebraska Extension will be June 21. Many have emailed, called, and texted me wondering what my next endeavor will be. Starting in July, I will be the State Soil Health Specialist with U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service located in Lincoln. I have served as a Water & Cropping Systems Extension Educator for 10 years (5.5 years previously in Fremont) where I have gained valuable experience and built networks that I will carry with me into my next job.
