Tour showcases Nebraska’s agriculture industry

Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts visits with Brownfield’s Ken Anderson

Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts visited several Nebraska communities this week as part of his annual Ag Week Tour.

“Visiting these communities during National Ag Week is a great way to highlight agriculture in Nebraska and celebrate our state’s number one industry,” said Governor Ricketts.  “Our planned stopovers around the state pay tribute to those who contribute to agriculture from livestock and crop producers to the innovative technology, processing, and infrastructure that goes along with it.”

Brownfield caught up with Governor Ricketts Thursday during his stop at Midwest Hop Producers near Plattsmouth.
