A new report details the impact of COVID-19 on Nebraska’s ag economy.
One of the report’s authors, Nebraska Farm Bureau economist Jay Rempe, says agriculture was among the hardest hit sectors. And Rempe says without assistance from the federal government, the ag industry would “be in a world of hurt”.
“The estimates show that government payments will make up about 35 to 50 percent of net farm income in the state of Nebraska this year,” Rempe says.
