🌾 Fun Fact Friday! 🌾

Did you know Nebraska’s farms and ranches cover nearly 44 million acres—that’s 89% of our state’s total land area! Even more impressive, Nebraska is home to 22 million acres of rangeland and pastureland, with nearly half located in the beautiful Sandhills.

These working landscapes help feed, fuel, and support communities across Nebraska and beyond.

We were honored to welcome six sailors from the USS Nebraska to Raising Nebraska earlier today! 🇺🇸⚓

As Nebraska's namesake submarine prepares to serve our nation, it was a privilege to host members of its crew and share the stories, people, and agricultural heritage that make our state so special.

Thank you to these sailors for your service, dedication, and commitment to our country. We are proud to celebrate the connection between Nebraska and the USS Nebraska and look forward to following your journey.
