LINCOLN, Neb. As the new year begins, all is quiet at the research plots at the High Plains Agricultural Lab 6 miles northwest of Sidney, Neb. Winter wheat fields are dormant, and other fields await the spring planting season.

The High Plains Ag Lab is operated by the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, under the supervision of the Panhandle Research and Extension Center at Scottsbluff, 75 miles to the northwest.
