On this day in 1919, the Tractor Test Laboratory opened, helping assuage concerns that the equipment delivered was what the manufacturers promised. Today, nearly all tractors manufactured in the US are tested at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln facility. 📷: @UNLarchives

Always blow or sweep off sidewalks and other impervious surfaces after granular fertilizer/pesticide lawn applications. Not doing so reduces application effectiveness, wastes money, and increases risks for people, animals, and water resources.
