That's right! With 184 Nebraska programs, agricultural education is preparing our youth for careers in agriculture, food, and natural resourse-based industries that are the heartbeat of our state economy. As the state's largest industry, one of every three Nebraskans earn their living by agriculture. Even though over 13,000 students take agricultural classes each year, the state needs even more highly trained youth to be the next generation of entrepreneurs, employees, and leaders within the industry.
