Nebraska wheat and alfalfa producers will have the chance to sharpen their management strategies and connect with experts at Nebraska Extension’s 2025 Southeast Nebraska Alfalfa and Wheat Expo, set for Friday, Sept. 19, at the Saline County Fairground, 1600 Tuxedo Park Rd., Crete. This free event, hosted by Nebraska Extension and local sponsors, will run from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Morning sessions will spotlight wheat production and disease management, while the afternoon will turn to alfalfa irrigation, insects, weeds and overall crop health. University specialists and industry professionals will lead the presentations, giving producers practical insights to improve productivity.

Attendees can stay for the full day or join for individual sessions, with plenty of time built in for networking, sponsor booths and industry exhibitor visits. Lunch is included for those who register by Monday, Sept. 15, though walk-ins are welcome.

Video: The Corn Looks Good!

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
