AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

SNAP Legal Shake-Up: A federal judge blocked Trump-backed waivers that would have let five states restrict SNAP purchases of soda and candy, a ruling that could complicate similar plans in Nebraska and beyond. SNAP Budget Pressure: USDA data shows many states may face new cost-sharing requirements tied to SNAP payment error rates, with Nebraska among those in the broader financial spotlight as states weigh fixes that could affect residents. Plastics Fight: Nebraska AG Brenna Bird joined a 17-state coalition challenging California’s Plastics Act, arguing the packaging rules will raise costs and overreach state sovereignty. Nebraska Agriculture Tech: Nebraska joined NASA’s Acres Farm Innovation Ambassador Team, linking UNL’s digital agriculture support with satellite and on-farm data tools for producers. UNL/UNMC Research Move: UNL and UNMC gained approval to report as a combined institution in national research rankings, aiming to strengthen grant competitiveness while keeping separate missions. Power & Growth: A global pact backed by 40 mayors targets how data centers are built and run, as cities push for energy and water planning that won’t crowd out housing. Wildfire Relief: Gov. Jim Pillen reissued an executive order to help haul hay and supplies to wildfire-impacted ranchers, with FEMA support also announced.
