They oppose a referendum costing up to 25 000 and a recall provision costing at least 15 000, urging safeguards without excess spending and urging the bill to die if not revised.

Nebraska wheat crop prospects look good
University of Nebraska Lincoln Extension agronomist A. K. Gus Dreier expressed optimism about this year’s Nebraska winter wheat crop. He noted weather as the key factor, with more than three million acres planted and fall planting up five percent over 1974. Weather favorable in Western Nebraska supports growth, though some wheat emerged late. Continued rain is needed for a strong crop, mosaic disease is common in eastern fields, hot weather may help plants out of the disease, and there is Atrazine damage and poor stands in the east. The crop may be slightly later than usual.

Buzzing With Bob On Farming And Lawn Tips
The piece urges timely May 20 certification for various crops including wheat and oats with seed source tagging. It notes a Nebraska virus affecting east regions, suggests lawn fertilizing and crabgrass control, promotes deeper root growth, and adds quirky notes on new featherless chickens and a tongue in cheek diary line about a friend with a broken left turn indicator.
Hog cycle outlook pins profits amid price swings
University of Nebraska economist Allen Wellman explains the hog cycle, noting two opposing cycles of hog numbers and prices with a typical two to four year length. He predicts 1978 could see a hog price valley and delayed herd growth, while fall grain prices and costs will shape expansion. Consumers may dampen pork demand if beef remains abundant.

Dairy farmers push for price hikes to lift consumer costs
Dairy spokesmen urge the Agriculture Department to raise purchase prices for butter cheese and nonfat dry milk to boost farmer returns from the current 7.24 per hundredweight toward the lost 7.40 level. Officials note processing costs rise and mid-April price updates still fall short of the support level, with April data showing only modest gains for farmers.
