Suit seeks dismissal of order halting move of CNTC office
A Hastings suit seeks dismissal of an injunction that stopped the Central Nebraska Technical College Area Board from moving its administrative offices. The case notes a June 5-4 board vote to buy land south of Grand Island and a lease in Grand Island until new offices are ready. Hastings residents led by J Dale Watley challenged state approval and argued lack of proper authorization under a July 1 law. The district court granted the injunction but did not set a permanent hearing date. a parallel state board action approved a one year trial period. The Lincoln law firm representing a counter claim argues Adams County District Court lacks jurisdiction over Hall County matters. Judge Norris Chadderdon, who granted the injunction, is awaiting a return to court with no new hearing date set.

Cattle industry officials fear patron switch
Officials warn that consumer taste shifting away from beef could push prices higher if the price ceiling on beef is lifted. An economist from a Nebraska meat packing firm projects live cattle prices may rise to about 69 per hundredweight briefly, then drift. Consumers stock up and may keep lower beef use if ceilings stay or if prices adjust slowly. The article notes a shift toward chicken pork and fish and highlights George Washington Carver’s work in diversifying the South’s cotton economy through nitrogen fixing peanuts and soybeans.
