Gov. Pillen Orders Flags to be Flown at Half-Staff in Honor of Peace Officers Memorial Day

Governor Jim Pillen ordered all U.S. and Nebraska state flags to be flown at half-staff on Friday, May 15, 2026, in observance of Peace Officers Memorial Day. The directive follows a national proclamation issued by President Donald J. Trump.
In conjunction with National Police Week, this day allows Nebraskans to pay special tribute to the brave men and women of law enforcement who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.
“I’m incredibly grateful to our law enforcement – the ones putting their lives on the line each day to keep our communities safe,” said Gov. Pillen. “It is vitally important that we take time to remember those who have protected us here in Nebraska and across our nation.”
Flags should be flown at half-staff beginning at sunrise on Friday, May 15, and returned to full staff at sunset.

Greg and Kole Keller of Monroe will be hosting a Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI) field day. The event is free to attend and open to the public. More information about the field day is below and full details can be found on the event's webpage.
Twin Row Cover Crops: Customizing Equipment, Reducing Inputs and Building Soil Health
Greg Keller operates Twin Row Cover Crops with his son, Kole, near Monroe, Nebraska. As a leading advocate for regenerative farming in his area, Greg uses innovative cover cropping, no-till and mindful fertility practices across his fields in addition to custom-drilling cover crops for neighboring farmers. In 2023, he was named a 4R Advocate by The Fertilizer Institute.
Recently, Greg worked with Quality Drills to design and build a 40-foot drill to seed a 7½-inch twin-row rye cover crop into standing corn stalks. The following season, he plants corn and soybeans between the rye strips. Come to his field day to see his specially designed equipment and learn strategies for cutting chemical inputs. You’ll also learn about Lower Loup Natural Resources District’s deep nitrate studies taking place on Greg’s farm.
Date: Thursday, June 4
Time: 4-6 p.m.
Location: 28270 370th Avenue, Monroe, Nebraska 68647
