Nebraska Hosts Drought Management Webinar for Beef Producers

Farmers across various regions are facing significant challenges such as drought, soil health issues, and the impacts of climate change, prompting efforts to provide educational resources and technological support. Nebraska Extension is offering a free webinar to help beef producers manage drought conditions through sound forage and herd management strategies. In Bangladesh, the government has introduced an advanced mobile application called the 'Khamari app' to deliver comprehensive agricultural information and real-time market data, aiming to improve crop management and productivity despite connectivity challenges. In Lowndes County, Mississippi, workshops are educating farmers on soil care, turf grass maintenance, and pest control to enhance land health and agricultural output. Meanwhile, farmers globally express a need for more government support, including subsidies and alternative assistance programs, to address the compounded effects of climate change and economic pressures. These initiatives reflect a growing recognition of the need for both practical guidance and technological innovation to sustain agriculture under current environmental and economic stresses.
