A series of accidents have recently plagued Nebraskan highways, prompting renewed calls for careful driving and seatbelt use. Last Wednesday, October 18, 2023, a serious single-vehicle accident occurred around 4:48 p.m.

October is known as soybean cyst nematode (SCN) action month because this is the best time to get out and soil sample for SCN. The end of a soybean season is when SCN levels will be at their highest in the soil. Currently, the Nebraska Soybean Board is sponsoring soybean cyst nematode sample analysis for samples from any Nebraska field.

Nebraska is full of talent, and that will become evident again on Sunday, October 29 as the Merrick Arts Council brings the Julie Baker Quartet to town at 2:00 p.m. Featuring one vocalist and a three piece band from the Omaha area, this will have a little bit of everything to amaze and inspire audiences of all ages. She began singing at an early age and joined the Cactus Jack and the Sneak Attack band at the age of 15.
