Western Nebraska potato harvest expected earlier, quality aimed
Nebraska potato officials forecast a large Western Nebraska crop with 90 percent of tonnage by September 25. Cool August weather accelerated tuber growth while extreme late summer heat hurt vine recovery in dray land. Labor shortages loom as harvest overlaps sugar beets and weather will drive quality over sheer tonnage. Root cutters may speed, protect maturity, and reduce sun scald to protect storage yield.

Rotary Speaker Cites Vast Possibilities Of Converting Ag Products To Industrial Use
Agnes Horton, Sid ney high school faculty member, spoke to the Rotary Club on converting Nebraska farm surpluses into industrial goods. She cited Omaha’s industrial alcohol plant as a hub for producing high protein feeds and finished products from surplus grains, noting 23 million gallons of 190 proof alcohol and 59 thousand tons of protein feeds from March 1944 to Sept 1945. Horton warned postwar surpluses are likely as farm production rose 23 percent, and the plant’s work could help farmers dispose of excess crops amid shifting markets. Her talk aligned with ongoing debates over chemistry department funding and related research.
