High winds on Sunday and Monday of this week led to black-out dust storms crossing Interstate-80, causing multiple-car accidents both days with one fatality and multiple injuries. Both days Interstate 80 had to be closed for several hours.
The situation there was not unlike what occurred in other areas of eastern Nebraska where the force of high winds across open, tilled fields led to blowing soil and dust storms. Clark Poppert of Geneva, Technical Support Agronomist with Servi-Tech, Inc., Monday afternoon captured videos of two fields approximately 1.5 miles apart northwest of Hebron to compare the effect of high winds on soil loss from a tilled and no-till field.
