Agriculture is the heart and soul of what we do in Nebraska. Family farms, ranches, and agri-businesses are the backbone of communities across Nebraska. The One Big Beautiful Bill helps producers today and lays the foundation for strong agricultural growth tomorrow. It grows our economy at home and will help gain new markets abroad. The One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) secures the future for those who feed and fuel America.

Have you ever stood up too quickly and felt the room spin? Or rolled over in bed and suddenly felt like you were on a merry go round you didn’t ask to ride?

Nebraska is what America is supposed to be. We believe in hard work. We provide for our families and take care of our communities. We defend our freedom. The One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) reflects those values and delivers results where they matter most.
