National Ag Week is the perfect time to thank farmers, ranchers, and others for providing the food, feed, fuel, and other products we depend on every day.
Commodity groups support producers and our agricultural industry all year, and especially during National Ag Week. Our commodity groups that help support agriculture are the Wheat Board, the Beef Council, the Dairy Council, the Soybean Board, the Corn Board, the Ethanol Board, and the Sorghum Board, just to name a few.
With the raging wildfires across the state, the Nebraska Department of Agriculture is concentrating efforts on assisting our farm and ranch families and their livestock. Producers that have been impacted by the wildfire and need hay, feedstuffs, fencing, materials, volunteer help, equipment, etc. should call the Nebraska Department of Agriculture. NDA staff will be gathering this information, identifying needs, and sharing where resources can be obtained. A list of disaster relief resources for Nebraska farmers and ranchers is also available online on the website at nda.nebraska.gov. This website also includes links to the United States Department of Agriculture's USDA Farm Service Agency programs, including the Livestock Indemnity Program and information from the Nebraska Extension.
The wildfires in Nebraska have destroyed over a half a million acres. Find this information on our Harvest USA Report or use our Agricultural Search Engine to find these resources at agsearch.us.
