Yesterday, NAYC members Carson, Austin, Cora, Morgan and Josie attended the Nebraska State Fair to hear from Senator Pete Ricketts, Senator Deb Fischer and USDA Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins during a Federal Issues Forum.

The forum provided our members with valuable insight into the issues impacting Nebraska agriculture and the future of our industry.

The highlight of the experience was having the opportunity to personally visit with the forum participants, ask questions, share their perspectives, and tell them about the Nebraska Agriculture Youth Institute (NAYI) and Nebraska Agriculture Youth Council (NAYC).
