#dicamba ruling update: "It is anticipated that the EPA will seek some type of further review.... Therefore, until such legal process is concluded, the Nebraska Department of Agriculture will continue to allow utilization." https://t.co/05Ri0cfwCk
A huge Thank You to all of the agencies, well drillers and power companies working behind the scenes to get all of the pieces of TPNRD Water Data Program put together. If power companies share info, growers who are signed up should see water data as soon as irrigation begins!
Take a look at our latest digital newsletter which includes an article on the planting decisions each of the TAPS teams made for the 2020 competition.
