Mission & Purpose

The word Nebraska is from the Oto Indian word “Nebrathka” meaning “flat water.” The pioneers who settled Nebraska in the late 1800s deserve much of the credit for transforming the state from a land considered unfit for cultivation to an agricultural oasis. Today Nebraska ranks among the leading states in many agricultural production categories.
