In response the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) confirmation of a New World Screwworm (NWS) case in Texas, Nebraska Cattlemen (NC) released the following statement:
“Nebraska Cattlemen, the NC Animal Disease Threats Working Group, and the NC Animal Health and Nutrition Committee have been preparing for New World Screwworm almost two years. Although the only confirmed case in the U.S. at this time is in Texas, Nebraska producers should remain vigilant and report any cases immediately, as early detection and treatment will be highly effective in eradicating NWS. We have eradicated this parasite before and we will again.”
If you suspect a case of NWS, immediately notify your local veterinarian, the Nebraska Department of Agriculture at 402-471-2351, or the local USDA office at 402-434-2300.

Today, I was able to present the Nebraska Cattlemen with a Capitol flag.
Together, we are celebrating National Beef Month.
Nebraska is the beef state. Our ranchers are the best in the world.
They’ve shown it this year in response to this spring’s devastating fires across the state. I’m confident they will rebuild and I’m grateful to honor them in the month of May.
USDA plans to move research outside the Beltway.
It appears to be a positive for Nebraska's USMARC, as @SenatorFischer says the Clay County center will gain staff and research.

The Morrill Fire didn't just torch 600,000+ acres — it stole some Nebraskans' livelihoods.

This is rural America—the very fiber that holds our nation together. ❤️🇺🇸
I was in Nebraska today, meeting the farmers and ranchers devastated after the Morrill Fire tore through 643,000 acres in western Nebraska, the largest wildfire in state history. These families lost everything: their hay, their grazing land, their entire way of life. With nowhere left to turn, they faced an overwhelming road ahead.
But they didn’t face it alone.
Neighbors from Craig and Oakland saw the need and answered. One simple Facebook post sparked a convoy of 22 semis rolling across the state, delivering more than 700 bales of donated hay straight into the hands of those who had nothing left.
That’s how it works out here: when you lose everything, your neighbor shows up and helps carry the load. No questions, no hesitation, just quiet strength and open hands.
We help our neighbor.
We do what’s right.
And we know they’ll have our backs when the burden is ours.
This is the unbreakable heart of America.

There’s nothing quite like a George Strait show in the lone star state. Over a decade since his last show in Lubbock, The King returns to Raiderland with an all Texans line up, including @MirandaLambert and @HudsonWMusic.
