Nebraska Wheat

Nebraska Wheat

Wheat is an important crop in Nebraska, with farmers producing more than 74 million bushels each year. This grain has sustained family farms in the state for generations and filled consumer needs across the globe with a consistently high-quality product. It has also helped to define Nebraska as a flourishing agricultural mainstay in the United States and around the world.

That’s why we need to continue making strides in the industry to ensure that the way of life for these producers can continue into the future.
