Nitrogen Use Efficiency Program Dead Line May 15, 2026
Lower Niobrara NRD regular Board Meeting will be Monday June 1, 2026 at 7:00pm at the Butte Community Center.

Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) Program:

The Lower Niobrara Natural Resources District (LNNRD) is partnering with the Nebraska Department of Water, Energy and Environment (DWEE) and the Nebraska Corn Board to deliver the Nebraska Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) Program. This program encourages corn producers to improve nitrogen use efficiency, with incentives available for those achieving a NUE of 1.0 or less for the 2026 crop. Improving NUE supports both economic returns and long-term water quality across our district.

Producers can also apply for the Nebraska Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) Program alongside N-Tech.
