Governor Pete Ricketts and Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) Director Steve Wellman announced two days of activities and stops across Nebraska to celebrate National Ag Week. During March 19 & 21, the Governor, NDA Director, and agriculture industry representatives will visit Seward, York, Lexington, and Sidney.
"Agriculture is the heart and soul of what we do here in Nebraska. Ag Week is a special time each year to celebrate our farm and ranch families. I'm looking forward to highlighting the innovative people and strategies that are growing agriculture and our state,” said Governor Ricketts.
“Our state is rooted in a deep agrarian history, and our future is bright thanks to our strong agriculture industry. National Ag Week is an opportunity for all Nebraskans to celebrate our #1 industry, agriculture. As we travel across the state we will have the opportunity to showcase our diverse agriculture industry, visiting with farmers and ranchers and touring agribusiness and manufacturing facilities that are investing in our rural communities,” said NDA Director Wellman.
