March comes in like a lamb Somehow the months of Jan-uary and February slipped away and we are already into March. March is the month
that we start to get a little excited for spring to ar-rive. We’ll start to see the signs as
tulips and other bulb flowers slowly start emerging. The days are a little warmer and the nights milder. We’re hopeful that the extreme cold temperatures and snow are behind us. However, if you’ve lived in Nebraska for at least 30 minutes, you know that more than likely we will have at least one more bout of cold, if not some snow! March is not usually all sunshine and rain-bows, but March does make us hopeful. We’ll see if the old adage, “In like a lamb, out like a lion” will
hold true this year. Don’t forget though, that its not too early to begin planning out those vegetable gardens and dreaming about abun-dant flower beds. On March 1st, also known as Statehood Day, Nebraska began it’s 151st year as a
state. Nebraska was officially named a state when President Andrew Johnson signed the nec-
essary paperwork on March 1, 1867 declaring that Ne-braska was now a state in the union. Another important time this month is National Agricul-ture Week, March 18-24th. This is the time when we should honor all ag producers for the tremendous job they do in feeding the world. Each American farmer feeds more
than 165 people ... a dra-matic increase from 25 peo-ple in the 1960s. Quite simp-ly, American agriculture is doing more - and doing it better. As the world popula-
tion soars, there is an even greater demand for the food and fiber produced in the United States. Agriculture is America's #1 export and new technology means farmers are more environmentally friendly than ever before.
