Rural Nebraska
This will get panned by some of the regulars here but this is every bit as much Nebraska as any urban setting is and in some way more so because it is where the state got it's start. Â Listen and give it some thought.

I have the utmost love and respect for the landscapes of Outstate Nebraska, the Sandhills, and the Panhandle. I just can't stand that genre of music.

We have a genre of music way out here? Oh, you must mean the music video. Yeah... most people that LIVE out here wouldn't care much for that, either. Trust me.

Some people love rural life, others love urban life. Â Seems to me that you ought to live where you love and love where you live. Â I don't want to live in rural Nebraska, but am happy to have others live there.

And Nebraskans are voting with their feet, and moving inexorably from rural areas into the metropolitan areas. Â One hundred percent of the Nebraska's growth the past decade came in metro Omaha and Lincoln. Â At least 65 counties actually shrunk in population!
Not saying it is good or bad, but the trend has been going on for 80 years.

Nebraska agricultural producers so far reap $123 million from federal emergency disaster relief program
Nebraska agricultural producers have received $123 million of the $4 billion distributed nationally so far through a federal Emergency Relief Program designed to offset their losses due to natural disasters over the past two years.
The program, along with another for livestock relief, are funded by the Extending Government Funding and Delivering Emergency Assistance Act, which President Joe Biden signed into law last year. Congress set aside $10 billion to help agricultural producers impacted by wildfires, droughts, hurricanes, winter storms and other eligible disasters in 2020 and 2021.
John Berge, executive director of Nebraska’s U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency, said natural disaster events have resulted in “catastrophic production and property losses” in Nebraska.
