Longtime NE Farm Bureau leader dies

Bob Thompson, the first full-time administrator of the Nebraska Farm Bureau, has died in Lincoln at the age of 93.

Under Thompson’s 32 years at the helm, Nebraska Farm Bureau expanded from its state policy focus to add services for insurance, agricultural supplies and animal health products.  He retired in 1981.

    Another part of history has passed away. Just think of the changes in farming (notice I say farming, not ag) that this man saw in his lifetime.
