A/N offered by 34 Iowa hybrid seed corn companies seeks 1.50 per bushel on unsold seed, up to 20000 dollars per company, arguing farm subsidy aid for non sale. Nebraska Farm Bureau's Bernie Camp calls it illogical and says the program has become unwieldy, graft ridden, and anti farmer. The piece labels the farm subsidy program misunderstood by urban taxpayers.

Out Of Old Nebraska Private Schools Came First In Nebraska Territory
Private schools laid the groundwork for Nebraska education after the 1854 opening of the territory. Early efforts by private teachers and school proprietors provided schooling for many lacking formal options, with selective schools like Miss Mary C. Reed’s in 1855 and Lucy Bowen’s private rooms in Omaha and Kearney Hill in 1856 noted for their care and order. Public schools emerged slowly as tax money became available, but City Board of Education records in 1960 show overrides of private-school start-up costs and the cautious stance toward replacing them without guaranteed public funding.
