The Nebraska Farm Bureau will host an Agriculture and Rural Issues Gubernatorial Forum to kick off their Annual Meeting and Convention this Sunday. President Mark McHargue says they’re excited to hear more about the vision Nebraska’s next CEO has for agriculture.

McHargue will also be giving his annual address looking at the State of Nebraska agriculture, which he says is coming off a near record year for net farm income due to improved commodity prices.

He says the voting delegate session on Tuesday will address a wide range of topics such as taxes, labor, technology and cyber security, climate policy and right to repair.

Nearly 300 farmers and ranchers are expected to gather for the 104th Annual Meeting and Convention December 5-7 in Kearney.
