(Nebraska Ag Connection) -- The Nebraska Ag Connection reports that "each year about this time, Nebraska corn producers invest approximately $1.4 billion in fuel, seed, fertilizer and other planting costs alone. According to the Nebraska Corn Board this investment in just a couple weeks' time multiplies by about 2.5 times into a $3.5 billion stimulus for Nebraska communities." This "provides not only a ripple effect in rural communities, but tremendous job opportunities in the agribusiness sector along with stimulus for the rest of the state," according to officials with the Nebraska Corn Board.
