The World’s Breadbasket: An Agricultural Tour through Nebraska

THE WORLD’S BREADBASKET:

AN AGRICULTURAL TOUR THROUGH NEBRASKA

EVEN THOUGH NEBRASKA BOASTS TWO MAJOR URBAN METROPOLITAN AREAS, it remains a true agricultural and rural state. Center-pivot irrigation was invented in Nebraska, and this unique type of irrigation system provides the much-needed moisture to hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland that make Nebraska the “Breadbasket to the World.” Nebraska’s agricultural roots run deep, and on this itinerary, we’ll cross the state from Omaha to Kimball, visiting many of its agricultural businesses, attractions and farm-to-table restaurants.
