Nebraska farmers prove humane agriculture isn’t just ethical—it’s smart business: calm, well-cared-for animals yield better milk and meat, while critics mischaracterize routine practices. Producers raise top breeds like Angus, Hereford, and Holsteins with precision stewardship, following strict standards for calf care, hygiene, and veterinary support. Even small-scale “pet cows” like Dexters need serious commitment to thrive. And while raw milk lovers may romanticize it, pasteurization is the simple, safe solution that protects both people and animals without sacrificing flavor or nutrition.

Happy 4th of July! - A message of Corey

Scattered storms today bring rain and isolated flooding risk, clearing by late morning. Highs hit the upper 80s but feel like low 90s due to humidity. Tonight, especially after 5 PM, watch out for possible severe storms with quarter-sized hail and 60+ mph winds—fireworks plans may get rained out. Sunday offers better weather with morning fog, sunny afternoons, and temps in the upper 80s. Next week, heat returns to the 90s, with another severe storm threat around Thursday.

At 100 years young, Iris Herse is one of the last living Rosies—the women who powered WWII by building bombs and breaking barriers. At just 17, she left her Nebraska farm to work grueling shifts at the Ordnance Plant, wearing jumpsuits, tying up her hair, and scrubbing gunpowder from her skin. She and her sister endured dormitory life, low wages, and emotional strain—but found strength in sisterhood and the shared mission to bring home the men they loved. Now honored with an American Spirit Award, Iris reflects on how “We can do it” wasn’t just a poster—it was their daily reality, forged in sweat, sacrifice, and unbreakable courage.

When justice hits the road—literally—a motorcycle crash sends two to the hospital, while a deadly shooting and motel break-in expose dangerous crime. A courtroom escape attempt shocks as a man lunges for a deputy’s gun, underscoring the raw intensity of the legal system. Meanwhile, a Nebraska farmer turns his soybean field into a patriotic canvas with a giant American flag and eagle for the Fourth of July. Amid the darkness, this display offers a powerful, hopeful contrast.
