For the week ending October 4, 2015, Nebraska experienced near normal temperatures, according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. Most of the State received up to an inch of rain. Producers were primarily engaged in harvest activities, although progress was impeded in some areas due to wet fields. There were 5.4 days suitable for fieldwork. Topsoil moisture supplies rated 6 percent very short, 26 short, 65 adequate, and 3 surplus. Subsoil moisture supplies rated 5 percent very short, 25 short, 68 adequate, and 2 surplus.

Video: Adapting to ESA: Mitigation Overview

CropLife America’s “Adapting to ESA” instructional video series is designed to provide clear, field-ready guidance that supports responsible pesticide use while protecting endangered species and their habitats. This is part 1 of the four-part series moderated by Dr. Stanley Culpepper, a leading weed science specialist with the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension.

Part 2: Bulletins Live! Two
Part 3: Spray Drift
Part 4: Runoff

The video series is part of a new set of educational tools released by CropLife America (CLA), in partnership with the Agricultural Retailers Association (ARA) and the Council of Producers and Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA), to help farmers, agricultural retailers, and pesticide applicators better understand the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
