Local Interest

Lincoln, Nebraska, Nov. 4, 2024 — The University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Center for Agricultural Profitability and Nebraska Extension will present a workshop in Wilber for farm and ranch landowners, landlords and tenants who want to learn more about current trends in farm or ranch real estate, and best practices for managing or leasing land. 

“Big Questions and Innovative Solutions in Land Management” will be held from 1 to 4 p.m., Dec. 12, at the office of Nebraska Extension in Saline County, 306 W. 3rd. 

We are approaching the fall harvest again, so harvest rates are a topic of interest. Custom rates for harvesting operations in Nebraska have continued to increase based on data gathered from the latest biennial Nebraska Custom Rates Survey completed in 2024.

Matheus Ribeiro was born in Brasilia, the capital city of Brazil where he got his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Agronomy. Matheus served as a professor for the Agronomy Department of Mato Grosso State University for a couple of years before working toward his PhD in Entomology from the University of Nebraska, Lincoln focusing on the risk of insecticide resistance development in North Central soybean aphid populations to thiamethoxam seed treated soybean. He continued in the Entomology department (Insecticide Toxicology Lab), as a postdoctoral research associate until the end of 2017.

“Managing herbicide-resistant weeds is a challenge for growers,” Jhala said. “Once herbicide-resistant weeds evolve, it can be spread by pollen, known as pollen-mediated gene flow. Reproductive biology differs markedly among weed species, as does the potential for gene flow.”
