LINCOLN – Nebraska agriculture is known for its traditional crops like corn and soybeans, but the state’s diverse landscape also supports specialty crops like dry edible beans, potatoes and wine grapes. To strengthen the specialty crop industry in the state, the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) is seeking proposals for innovative research, development and marketing projects through the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program (SCBGP). The program is administered by NDA and funded through the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The deadline for submitting SCBGP proposals is January 31, 2022.

Thanks to impressive nutritional content, oatmeal is the unsung hero of the pantry. While it might not garner the glory of cold-busting chicken soup or sore throat-conquering tea with honey, oatmeal can help people overcome common illnesses like stomach bugs. The United States Department of Agriculture’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that women consume between 21 and 25 grams of fiber each day and advises men to consume between 30 and 38 grams of fiber each day. A single one-cup serving provides four grams of dietary fiber, and that doesn’t even include the additional fiber many people get when they add fruits and berries to their morning bowl of oatmeal. But it’s the fiber in the oats themselves that can be especially valuable for individuals who have digestive disorders or those want to prevent them. For example, experts with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health note that the insoluble fiber found in oats has been linked to a 40 percent lower risk for diverticular disease. Individuals confronting constipation should know that the fiber in oatmeal can help to soften stool, which can allow food to pass through the digestive system more quickly. Fiber in oatmeal can help people overcome diarrhea by absorbing water and adding bulk and volume to stool.

The cottage we rented had most necessary ingredients, with one exception. There was no closet! I even asked for a standalone coat rack to hang our things, but nothing could be done, so we made the best of it. Hangar clothes laid on the table and shoes sat under the bed. It was a tight squeeze. All too soon it was Friday and pack up time. We hastily scooped up, washed dishes, cleaned out the tiny refrigerator and left promptly at 11:00 a.m. As we were well out of town the thought flashed through my mind that I wasn’t sure I’d done a last run through. That’s not like me.

Through the years I have gotten more response to columns that have caused the reader to think, and maybe do a bit of reminiscing. After sending in my column about memories of growing up, I thought, with some help, you will likely come up with some too.
