AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Wildfire Response: The South Fork Fire in Nebraska remains at 80% containment and 39,057 acres, with 482 personnel assigned; officials say the fire was generally quiet but crews found heat spots and “ash devils” near Hwy. 20, and they’re watching burning cottonwood trees while keeping the Fort Robinson campus evacuation status at “SET” (Be Prepared). Flood Resilience: Southeast Nebraska’s heavy rains showed the value of flood control infrastructure: Lower Big Blue NRD says watershed structures prevented more than $1 million in estimated flood damage in Saline and Gage counties. Farm Risk Management: Nebraska Extension highlights a fast-approaching July 15 deadline for USDA Risk Management Agency Annual Forage insurance, which can pay out when precipitation falls below selected coverage levels for 2026-2027 forage planting. Wildlife & Ranching Policy: Sen. Pete Ricketts and others introduced the FENCE Act to let USDA include virtual fencing under the Emergency Conservation Program, aiming to give ranchers more flexibility as they recover from disasters. Public Health & Environment: A new review links pesticide exposure during pregnancy and early childhood to higher risks of childhood leukemia and brain tumors, with the strongest signals tied to prenatal exposure.
