A new report by University of Nebraska-Lincoln researchers documents the importance of agriculture to the state’s economy.
The report shows the state’s ag production complex accounts for nearly 34 percent of business sales, 22 percent of the gross state product and nearly a quarter of the state’s jobs.
Those percentages are down slightly from the last benchmark study in 2012 because of a downturn in the ag economy and the growth of other industries.
