Greetings, 4-H members and families! Your friendly neighborhood office staff members are preparing for County Fair 2020 for both Nuckolls and Thayer counties. This year's fair will be unlike anything you've been part of before due to COVID-19 modifications and safety precautions, but we are still going to learn, grow, compete, and celebrate with our local 4-H and FFA youth. Thank you to all of the 4-H Council members, club leaders, and other volunteers who have dedicated time to helping us put on a fair during COVID-19.

Lincoln, Neb. —The wheat stem sawfly has begun emergence throughout the High Plains. Observations from several locations – the High Plains Ag Lab (HPAL) near Sidney, Neb., the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) Research Station near Akron, Colo., and as far east as Deuel County, Neb. – indicate very high populations of wheat stem sawfly in wheat fields.
