Congrats to UCLA on winning the College World Series.  I hope all the fans had a wonderful time and it was great to see everyone in town.  Now, onto some weekend reading!

The Center for Rural Affairs released a poll of Rural Americans.  There is an interesting tidbit for everyone in the poll.

Prescott Frost, a Nebraska grass-fed cattle rancher, is profiled in the New York Times.

Nuts, fruits, and veggies are the better choice.

Nebraska preliminary crop prices for June are released and the results are mixed.  Wheat and alfalfa hay is down from May, whereas corn, soybeans, and soybeans are up from May.  South Dakota is similar.  Wheat and sunflower are down, whereas corn and soybeans are up.

The Nebraska Department of Roads is accepting applications for right-of-way hay permits.

In case you need a refreshing adult drink after the temperatures this week, I’d recommend the Porch Crawler.
