Nebraska Farmers Must Decide Whether to Replant

severe-weatherUEHLING, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska farmers who sustained heavy damage in last week’s severe weather will face some tough decisions in the days ahead.

Farming and crop insurance experts say farmers will have to consider a number of factors when deciding whether to replant.

Dodge County Extension Educator Nathan Mueller says deciding to replant will depend on what insurance coverage farmers have, what herbicides they used this spring and how bad the damage is.

Significant damage is common in Burt, Cuming, Dodge and Washington counties after Tuesday’s large hail and strong winds.

Farmers can attend a meeting this Tuesday at 1 p.m. at Uehling Auditorium to get advice from experts.
