Nebraska corn farmers will plant 9.9 million acres of corn in 2021 according to the latest Prospective Plantings report released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). If these planting estimates hold up, Nebraska corn farmers will invest nearly $2.2 billion dollars into the state’s economy over a two-month period. This amount is a result of inputs, such as seed, fuel and fertilizer, but does not include land costs, labor or equipment. Despite the seemingly high investments now, the full economic impact will be realized over time. #plant21 #corn #necorn

We all depend upon clean water, soil and air — as does the world’s supply of food, fuel, feed and fiber. Every year, Nebraska’s farmers are growing more with less — less water, fewer chemicals, less land and a lower impact on the environment.

Workers in the grain handling industry are exposed to different life-threatening hazards daily. Here are a few tips to remember when entering a grain bin:
✔️ ALWAYS lockout and tag out unloading equipment before entering a bin.
✔️ NEVER work alone in a bin. Have someone watching who can call for help.
✔️ ALWAYS wear a harness and lifeline and do NOT "walk down the grain."
