Ag Partners Tour 2017
The Columbus Area Agribusiness Committee is hosting the 13th Annual Ag Partners Tour. The tour is to raise awareness of the impact of agriculture. We feel this awareness is the first step towards growing the economic impact of agriculture in Nebraska, the state's biggest industry.
The future of agriculture is synonymous with the future of Nebraska. While we enjoy a diversified economy in our state, it is common sense that a state must protect its #1 industry. The Columbus region is witness to the impact of agriculture and ag-related industries on a diversified local economy.
