Besides the activities Chuck is covering in Washington, DC, this week there are localized events throughout the country. This morning, Nebraska kicked off Ag Day in Tecumseh, Omaha and Wayne. The crowds got to listen to some key Nebraska agriculture influencers and supporters such as Nebraska Farm Bureau President Steve Nelson, State Department of Agriculture Director Greg Ibach, Agriculture Committee Chairman Sen. Ken Schliz, Lt. Governor Lavon Heidemann, and Nebraska State Governor Dave Heineman.
What a great way to meet and mingle with some of the State representatives and area agriculturalists. The crowds that gathered in Nebraska for Ag Day consisted of FFA students, farmers, college students, agriculture media representatives and ag organizations. Governor Dave Heineman stressed that he is proud of Nebraska agriculture and all that it has done not only for our state but for the world.
