Morgan Wrich

Although Morgan Wrich grew up in Omaha, her time on her grandparents’ farm gave her a love for agriculture and a desire to carry on their legacy. Today, she farms corn and soybeans near Nelson, Nebraska, with her husband and two daughters, embracing the long hours, hard work and close-knit community that come with farm life. She wants people to see the dedication it takes to grow food, being up before sunrise and done after the sun sets, and to see why farmers love every minute of it. Morgan hopes her girls know they can be anything they want, including a Nebraska corn farmer, and she is proud to show them the value of caring for the land and supporting their community. Her story embodies the hope and heart that drive Nebraska farmers every day.
