A Farewell Open House will be held for Extension Educator Tom Dorn this Wednesday, June 26, in Lincoln.  The event will be 4-6 p.m. at the Lancaster County Extension Center, 444 Cherrycreek Road.

Over the years Dorn has been a regular contributor to CropWatch, covering grain drying and storage issues and other ag topics and providing crop reports. His website on grain storage management is a rich resource of valuable information for growers. 

Dorn began his Extension career in 1980 as an Extension Technologist and has served as an irrigation and conservation specialist in northeast Nebraska, an ag agent in Holt and Filmore-Thayer-Nuckolls counties, and in 1997 became an extension educator in Lancaster County. 

Over the years he has received a number of awards for his service to Nebraska agriculture and Extension. See more about Dorn's contributions in the most recent Lancaster County Extension Nebline.

If you would like to share a letter or fun experience you have had with Tom over the years, please send it by June 24 to Lorene Bartos, UNL Extension in Lancaster County, 444 Cherrycreek Road, Suite A, Lincoln, NE 68528. Letters will be included in a book.
