A full day of learning in the field as NRCS staff explored research and management practices at ENREEC.
The training covered pasture and grazing principles, crop-livestock integration, cover crops, prairie strips, NRATE fields, and new approaches to nutrient stewardship.
Pastures, bins, cattle, & farm equipment were included in the Ag Health & Safety Course for Medical & Safety Professionals visit to ENREEC. @unmccscash coordinates the course providing in-depth info on key health & safety issues specific to rural & ag workers.
While the world's cameras are fixed on the five-day state funeral of Khamenei, the Islamic Republic is silently killing this 23-year-old girl with a slow death.
Raheleh Moeini, a biomedical engineering graduate of Amirkabir University, had traveled back to Iran from Italy to visit her family. On January 18th, in Saadatabad, Tehran, she was shot by security forces and at that very moment, bleeding and wounded, she was abducted and transferred to Qarchak Prison. Her family spent weeks not knowing where she was. Whether she was alive or dead.
Now Branch Tehran’s Revolutionary Court, has issued its verdict. One year for being on the street where they shot her. One and a half years for having a Twitter account. Two years banned from leaving the country. This regime first put a bullet in her, then put her on trial.
Be the voice of Raheleh Moeini.

Family, we got our van back! A huge thank you to the incredible team at Anderson Ford of Lincoln North in Lincoln, Nebraska, for stepping up after hearing about our deer accident. They generously covered all of the repairs related to the deer damage and even paid for half of the additional repairs they discovered along the way. The total repair bill came to around $15,000. Anderson Ford covered more than $10,000, and thanks to your generous donations, we were able to cover the remaining $5,000. Your support also helped purchase the grill guard you now see on the front of the van, which will provide extra protection if we ever encounter another deer on the road. Hopefully, we never have to test it!
Thank you, Anderson Ford, and thank you to every single person who donated and prayed for us during this journey. I’m now headed back home to Huntsville, Alabama, and next week I’m hoping to get back on the road to visit more kids across the country who have completed the 50 Yard Challenge. Nebraska, thank you for your kindness and hospitality, and thank you, family, for always standing with us.
The security forces in Iran threw acid on Marziyeh for not covering her hijab “properly”.
And this one? The grandniece of Qasem Soleimani the slain IRGC commander, in a luxury life in America, without hijab.
Yes for us ordinary women in Iran: show our hair, lose our face, beaten by morality police, arrested, blacklisted, and even get killed like Mahsa, Jina Amini.
Outside Iran: be connected to the regime, enjoy your freedom.

In this photo are six kids from different backgrounds, different states but all united by one mission: to serve their communities and make a difference.
Each of them accepted the 50 Yard Challenge and went out to mow 50 FREE lawns for the elderly, disabled, single parents, veterans, first responders, and active-duty service members. The black shirts they’re wearing represent completion, a symbol of their commitment, hard work, and heart to serve. And they earned brand new lawn equipment—a mower, weed eater, and blower—for doing it.
Now the question is… will the child in your life be next? They can step up, make a difference, and earn their black shirt too. Talk to your kids today about joining the 50 Yard Challenge and becoming part of something bigger than themselves.

Who remembers Jesus from Omaha, NE, who completed our 50 Yard Challenge in 2023? I’ve got an exciting update on him!
Jesus is now 14 and hasn’t stopped making a difference. Since completing the challenge, he’s continued mowing, raking, and shoveling snow—and he’s even launched his own lawn care business, Ready, Set, Mow, in the Omaha area! Right now, he’s focused on servicing neighborhood yards, balancing his business with school, weekend work, and playing in a local soccer league.
Jesus, we’re so proud of you! Keep up the amazing work, and we wish you all the best with your growing business!
Just a couple of days away!

Dear @WhiteHouse
After traveling over 17,000+ mowing for veterans and active-duty service members across all 50 states, this year’s journey has come to an end. 🇺🇸
If ever given the chance to mow at Arlington National Cemetery or even at The White House with my USA mower, I would drop everything and head there in a heartbeat.
It would be one of the greatest honors of my life . Thank you for your consideration.
