Wildfire has impacted many Nebraska ranchers and landowners who now face questions about how land will recover, next management steps and how to plan for the months ahead. A Nebraska Extension webinar at noon Central Time on April 20 will offer guidance to help land managers make more informed decisions after fire.

The webinar, “Wildfire Recovery and Management for Nebraska Rangeland and Pastures,” will be hosted by the Center for Agricultural Profitability at Nebraska, featuring Mitch Stephenson, associate professor and range management specialist, and Dirac Twidwell, professor and rangeland ecologist.

Video: Same Grit, New Name: A Conversation with Ryan Calistro of Bower Ag

Swine Leaders Live, we sit down with Ryan Calistro, President of Bower Ag, to discuss a major brand transition in the ag construction and solutions space—and what it means for swine producers. Bower Ag represents a new, unified identity, bringing together Ag Property Solutions, Dairy Specialists, and The Dairy Solutions Group under one name. But as Ryan explains, this isn’t about change for the sake of change—it’s about strengthening what already works and delivering more value to producers.

We dive into:

• What Bower Ag is and why the transition was made

• What stays the same for longtime customers

• How combining multiple businesses creates new opportunities for producers

• What today’s producers are asking for—and how Bower Ag is responding

• Key insights heading into World Pork Expo
