Having LEAD alumni on the bus is important to help educate and interact with the urban folks on the bus. It is a great way to build bridges between rural and urban across the state of Nebraska.

At the June 7, 2016 LEAD Alumni Board Meeting, the opportunity to work with Bryan High School in Omaha was discussed. Bryan has an Ag Academy which this year has about 50 students enrolled. Bryan’s Ag Academy administration and instructors have asked the alumni to assist them with this effort.
To give you a little background, Bryan is currently the only Omaha Public School to have an agricultural program and has now become the largest FFA chapter in the State of Nebraska. In this academy, students utilize knowledge of both urban and traditional agriculture to be innovators in their field and positive members in the community. Agricultural themes are incorporated into their core coursework such as plant and animal science and food production.
Bryan is asking for some assistance in the 2016/2017 school year with the following:
1. Specific Tours:
a. Field trips –short jaunts – ideally within 90 miles of the school to get a first-hand view of your farm/business/organization. These should be “focused” tours i.e. Corn production, irrigation/water, ethanol industry, cattle etc. In other words, the time spent learning about similar subject matter so in-depth perspective can be gained by the students.
b. The objective would be to give urban youth a deeper understanding of agriculture by viewing real life operations.
2. In-Class Presentations:
a. Various Alumni volunteers come to the classroom one per month to present during the 45 minute class period. This is our opportunity to showcase our Ag business. These presentations can be based on what the alumni “produces”, the agri-business they are involved with, research they are involved with etc. Basically anything agriculture. The instructors want to give these youth more than what they can learn out of a book or by visiting Omaha Agri-businesses. Discussing this with them, it seems like this might look more like a brief intro to the subject matter, slides or power point with pictures if the alum wants to use that medium, and mostly one on one Q & A. Also any hands on activity would be an added bonus.
b. The objective would be to have interaction and exposure to the Ag industry and corresponding career opportunities.

The pills viagra secretion of prostatic fluid is regulated by androgen. 3. Judging:
a. Specific classes and/or FFA activities require judging for presentations, conducting mock interviews etc. Bryan would like to have alumni involved in judging these events.
b. The objective would be to provide outside ag industry perspectives and an opportunity to mentor a young Ag Academy student
4. Assist with “Rural Ag Immersion Tour”:
a. Provide tour stops for this tour. They typically do this in the fall and do not go farther than 90 miles of Bryan. This one day tour is a day of viewing differing ag industries
b. Objective of this tour is to give the students a variety of rural Ag and Agri-business. Many times this is the first time these youth have been on an actual farm. It gives them a chance to see/touch/feel agriculture first hand.
This kind of project fits in perfectly with the mission of LEAD alumni. If you can help or have questions, please email Nancy Eberle at neberle@mainstaycomm.net

The 2016 LEAD Alumni Conference was held February 4-5 at Innovation Campus in Lincoln. It was a very informative conference with great speakers and of course great networking with fellow LEAD alumni.
We heard from Mark Overman, Scottsbluff County Sheriff on the legal issues effecting Nebraska with legalizing Marijuana in Colorado. Nebraska law enforcement definitely has their hands full now that the drug is legal in Colorado. Motor vehicle deaths are up with victims that have used the drug. Crime is on the increase and we have seen a lot of the stuff pass through our state.
Also Thomas Kent from NPPD spoke to the group about what’s happpening in the changing power industry in Nebraska. The question remains “How does NPPD provide reliable, affordable, and environmentally acceptable power to residents?” It is a tough question with very complex answers. By 2030, there must be a reduction in CO2 emmisions by 32% of 2005 levels. It’s a big challenge, but it seems NPPD is ahead of the game. Just like agriculture, this industry faces many rules and regulations.
Thomas Kent, NPPD, VP and COO
There were also sessions presented by Common Ground Nebraska. The neat thing was that all the presenters for that group are a part of the LEAD program.
Dr. Wayne Woldt spoke about how unmanned aerial systems will be used in the future. Right now, agriculture is a huge market for drones and will continue to be so as technology advances
Dr. Wayne Woldt
The keynote was during lunch on Friday. Dr. Connie Reimers-Hild spoke to the group about Rural Futures Institute. She talked about all they do to strengthen rural communities to attract businesses/people and to address challenges and opportunities which result in a strong “rural future”
Last but not least, we had to do one final presentation. Every year the LEAD Alumni present the Outstanding LEAD Alumni award to someone who has put their LEAD training to work. This year we presented the award to Willow Holoubek from LEAD 26. Willow is the current director of A-FAN. This is a non-profit organization designed to ensure the continued viability and opportunity for growth of Nebraska agriculture into the future through coordinated outreach, promotional and informational efforts. It is a coordinated effort between many ag groups in Nebraska. Willow had numerous nominations, and some very nice things were said that made the decision an easy one for the committee. If you see Willow, tell her congratulations. She is well deserving of this award! Pfizer, Inc, has made it clear since the drug’s inception that discount on cialis is not an aphrodisiac.

If you missed the conference, you obviously missed a good one. Thank you to LEAD 32 for doing a great job with this. It is not an easy task, but they made it look like it was. I know 33 and 34 are already working on the conference when it is their turn. I can’t wait!
