From Response to Recovery: Monitoring Nebraska’s Rangelands After Wildfire
From Response to Recovery: Monitoring Nebraska’s Rangelands After Wildfire
Nebraska has already experienced its largest wildfire year on record. Nearly one million acres of grazing land burned this spring, and continued drought has slowed vegetation recovery while sustaining wildfire risk into late summer.
From Response to Recovery: Monitoring Nebraska’s Rangelands After Wildfire
Nebraska has already experienced its largest wildfire year on record. Nearly one million acres of grazing land burned this spring, and continued drought has slowed vegetation recovery while sustaining wildfire risk into late summer. Fire has shaped Great Plains grasslands for thousands of years. It influences plant communities and grazing patterns, recycles nutrients, and limits woody plant expansion. Yet large wildfires can also disrupt ranching operations and rural communities—particularly when they occur during severe drought and threaten livestock, infrastructure, and forage resources. Following this year’s fires, producers faced the immediate work of documenting losses, repairing infrastructure, and securing alternative feed. They must now make decisions about recovery that will unfold over years, not months.

Propelling Nebraska Agriculture into the Next Generation Bioeconomy
Propelling Nebraska Agriculture into the Next Generation Bioeconomy
| Nebraska is uniquely positioned to lead the next generation of the bioeconomy, where innovation, technology, and sustainability will drive global agricultural competitiveness. As one of the nation's premier agricultural states, Nebraska can become the leading destination for agricultural research, workforce development, and commercialization by investing in strategic partnerships, talent, and emerging technologies. The University of Nebraska, working with producers, industry, USDA, and entrepreneurs, should advance transformational research in precision agriculture, regenerative systems, digital agriculture, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and sustainable bioproducts. Using Research Extension Education Centers and other producer connected platforms would position Nebraska as the national leader in resilient, secure, and sustainable food systems. |
Panhandle Research Extension and Education Center Highlights
Panhandle Research Extension and Education Center Highlights
Dry edible bean production in Nebraska ranks first in Great Northern beans and second in pinto beans. The Panhandle of Nebraska, where the bean industry is concentrated, generates tens of millions of dollars for the state's agricultural economy. University of Nebraska-Lincoln Panhandle Research Extension and Education Center Dr. Nevin Lawrence, Nebraska Extension Weed Management, is researching suppression of the weed Palmer Amaranth. The weed is herbicide-resistant and one of the most severe threats to Nebraska dry bean producers. Currently, there are no effective post-crop emergence (POST) herbicides labeled in dry beans that can control ALS- and glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth. |
