1. CATTLE & CALVESDid you know that cattle outnumber Nebraskans 4 to 1 and that 1 beef

animal produces nearly 1,000 hamburgers?

5. WHEATDid you know that

an area the size of a football field of wheat

can produce 2,500 loaves of bread?

(Enough for a family of 4 for 10 years!)

2. CORN40% of corn grown is

fed to livestock but only 1% of corn harvested is sweet corn for human consumption. Corn is

found in plastics, paint, and even chewing gum.

6. MILK & DAIRYIt takes only 2 days for

milk to get from the farm to the store and

travels on average less than 100 miles.

9. DRY BEANSNebraska is #1 in

Great Northern Beans and #2 in Pinto and Light

Red Kidney Beans. We also raise Garbanzo,

Navy and Black Beans.

3. SOYBEANSThe #1 customer of

soybeans is livestock! Soybeans are also used to make crayons and

cleaning products.

7. HAYHey! It’s true that Alfalfa and grass hay are grown

in every county in the state. But it isn’t just for livestock. People eat alfalfa (sprouts) too.

10. SUGAR BEETSThere is no difference

between beet sugar and cane sugar – except

we raise Sugar Beets in Nebraska (mainly in the

panhandle).

4. HOGSNebraska generally

ranks #6 in the nation for pork production. Not only does bacon taste good it creates good jobs (11,000 of them)!

8. CHICKEN EGGSBrown eggs come from chickens with red ear lobes and white eggs

come from chickens with white ear lobes. (There is no nutritional difference

between the 2.)
