The Nebraska Farm Bureau is calling on the Biden administration to step up their trade agenda, after a lack of action over the last year.  This comes on the heels of the release of their 2020 Nebraska Agriculture and International Trade Report, which President Mark McHargue says shows ag exports accounted for roughly 30-percent of each dollar received in the state and are critical for future success.

Sr. Economist Jay Rempe says their analysis also looked at 2020 ag exports in Nebraska by commodity and soybeans led in value, followed by corn and beef.

Rempe says analyzing U.S. export data for 2021 through November, it looks like Nebraska is poised to set a new record for the year.

The previous ag export record in Nebraska was $7.1 billion.
