"About six-in-ten Americans say countries around the world, including the U.S., will not do enough to avoid the worst effects of climate change. Among Democrats, this share has increased from 51% in 2022 to 69% in 2026."

About six-in-ten Americans say countries around the world, including the U.S., will not do enough to avoid the worst effects of climate change. This growing pessimism is driven by Democrats.

If you are interested in learning how regenerative farming solutions can address increasing health issues please consider RSVP'ing to the upcoming Regenerative Farm Tour Focused On Health on Saturday, June 27th hosted by Graham Christensen at Christensen Farms, Inc near Oakland, NE.

The event will highlight practical farming solutions which mitigate soil erosion and water quality issues. The tour will emphasize the need to develop new markets for nutrient dense foods which can activate rural economies while improving the health and well-being of Nebraskans.

Special guest and practicing physician, Dr. Stephanie Hartman, will co-lead the tour and and will discuss the important topic of "Food Is Medicine".

Following the tour, Indigenous Chef Anthony Warrior will be preparting a nutritious lunch to emphasize the connection of local and fresh foods to health and revitilization.

The tour will start promptly at 10am and will be about 2 hours. After the tour, particpants will meet in Oakland to partake in the special luncheon which will leave you feeling energized.

Please email RSVP's to Laura Thomas at [email protected]. RSVP's will be cut off at 50 participants so let us know as soon as possible if you plan to attend. Be prepared for hot summer weather and wear good walking shoes. We will have plenty of water.

Oh, and we will also be showing off the new w**d cutting robots (the yellow Greenfield machinery pictured below) which cuts out chemicals on our food grade white corn and soybeans. See you at the farm!

"Opposition to data centers is growing in Otoe County, and around the country. The massive, resource-guzzling buildings needed to power artificial intelligence and our digital infrastructure have emerged as a galvanizing issue. Local governments from California to Maine have adopted or are considering temporary bans. And at least 14 states so far this year have weighed statewide moratoriums."

The move comes as cities and states across the country weigh similar moratoriums amid concerns about water and electricity.
