- It's an area many of you drive by every day, located off Highway 281. A group of nearly 70 workers are swarming the fields this season to do detassling and help Nebraska farmers with their crops. Maybe you've seen them on your commute to work.

The sun beats down on this summer evening as the workers sit shaded under the tall trees. Pesticides, heat stroke, dehydration. Just a few key words used during this lesson.

Tasia was diagnosed with E. Coli. At first Tasia was under the care of Mary Lanning in Hastings, but she soon developed hemolytic uremic syndrome or HUS.
