LINCOLN, NEBRASKA (RFD NEWS) — As winter conditions continue across much of the country, safety remains a top concern for rural communities. From everyday cold-weather precautions to preparing for major winter storms, reminders this time of year can help keep families and neighbors safe.
Dr. Jeffrey Gold, president of the University of Nebraska, joined us on Wednesday’s Market Day Report for Rural Health Matters to walk through important winter safety considerations.
In his conversation with RFD NEWS, Gold emphasized the value of revisiting safety reminders, even for those who have lived through many winters. He also outlines how people should prepare when facing a true winter storm, including steps to take before conditions worsen.
Dr. Gold also highlighted the importance of planning ahead and staying informed during severe weather events. Finally, he shared his final thoughts on staying safe and mindful throughout the winter season.
Rollins says the new trade relationship with Taiwan, which is committed to buying a significant amount of U.S. soy, could not come at a better time for farmers facing financial strain.
