ST. LIBORY, NEB. (RFD NEWS) — Severe spring weather continues creating challenges for producers across the Central Plains, with recovery efforts still underway in parts of Nebraska hit hard by recent storms.
Market Journal’s Steve White shows us how volunteers throughout the community quickly stepped up to help local producers recover from the damage.
Many producers are still dealing with damaged fencing, cleanup of debris, and impacts on crops and livestock facilities following the storms that brought a tornado and large hail to the area. However, they are grateful to have avoided damage from severe wildfires and drought a few counties over and thankful for some rain after bouts of severe dryness.
Recovery efforts are expected to continue for weeks as farmers and ranchers work to restore operations and assess the longer-term impacts of the severe weather.
Recent USDA export sales data show China has been active in the U.S. market, but analysts tell RFD-TV News that the timing is a key clue.
