March is National Nutrition Month and it's the perfect time to evaluate your eating habits and consider adding more nutritious foods to your daily meals. Fun fact, many of the ingredients that contribute to a balanced and healthy diet wouldn't be possible without honey bees, including foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and crop seeds. Join us this month in celebrating the humble honey bee and all they do to keep our food world buzzing.
Do you know about the Resilient Food Systems Infrastructure? The RSFI is a USDA-led initiative designed to strengthen local and regional food systems by building critical links between farm production and consumer access, including processing, aggregation, storage, transportation, and distribution. The Nebraska Department of Agriculture has funded 7 infrastructure grants and 8 equipment-only grants through this initiative. You can view a list of programs funded at the grants at the Nebraska Department of Agriculture website at nda.nebraska.gov. You can also find a link to that right on our Harvest USA Report Facebook page.
Don't forget about the BRAD scholarship. That's from Hale Harvesting LLC. The application deadline is April 4th. No further applications will be accepted. Bradley-Heil Memorial Advancing Agriculture Scholarship is open to all students interested in pursuing an agriculture education or career or AG adjacent education or career.
