Weed Scientist Nevin Lawrence Honored for Impactful Research on Herbicide Use in Nebraska

Weed Scientist Nevin Lawrence Honored for Impactful Research on Herbicide Use in Nebraska

Nevin Lawrence, an associate professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, has been recognized with the 2025 Outstanding Extension Program Award by the Gamma Sigma Delta Nebraska Chapter. His research, which began in 2018, focused on the herbicide metamitron for controlling Palmer amaranth in sugarbeets, a weed that significantly impacts crop yields. Lawrence's work led to the U.S. EPA granting a Section 18 Emergency Exemption for the use of Goltix (metamitron) on 38,000 acres of sugarbeet in Nebraska and Colorado in 2023. This research has been pivotal in reducing yield losses and has had a substantial economic impact, saving an estimated $7.8 million in yield and generating over $21 million in economic benefits in a single year.

Idaho Health Officials Solicit Public Input on Opioid Settlement Fund Allocation

Idaho health officials are seeking public input on how to allocate funds from the state's Opioid Settlement Fund. The state has received approximately $73 million from pharmaceutical companies implicated in the opioid crisis. The Idaho Behavioral Health Council has recommended focusing on prevention programs, treatment, recovery, and workforce development. Ross Edmunds, co-chair of the council, emphasized the importance of ensuring that the council's decisions reflect the needs and voices of those affected by the opioid crisis. The funds are mandated by the state attorney general's office to be used exclusively for opioid-related projects. Residents have until June 5th to submit their feedback, with the council planning to vote on recommendations later in June. The final decision on fund allocation will be made by state legislators in the upcoming January session.

Childcare Deserts Persist Across the U.S., Affecting Families Nationwide

Childcare Deserts Persist Across the U.S., Affecting Families Nationwide

A recent report by the Center for American Progress highlights the prevalence of childcare deserts across the United States, where nearly half of young children live in areas lacking sufficient licensed childcare. These deserts are notably common in states like Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, and Kansas. The report indicates that 70% of young children in remote rural areas are affected, a significant increase from previous years. The shortage of childcare workers exacerbates the issue, with many centers unable to meet demand despite having available space. The median annual wage for childcare workers remains low, contributing to staffing challenges. Efforts to improve access include New Mexico's introduction of no-cost universal childcare and initiatives in New York to provide free early education seats.
