AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoFuel Costs: Nebraska diesel averaged $6.05 a gallon and regular gas $4.28 in the week ending Oct. 3. A national gas-price dip offered little comfort to farmers and truckers facing elevated costs; temporary tax relief for dyed diesel and a proposed Russian diesel deal aim to ease pressure. Workforce: Nebraska has launched training grants to help employers in key industries upskill workers. Agriculture: USDA’s October crop forecast sent corn futures to an eight-week low, while feeders say cattle prices have fallen amid packing-plant closures. Nebraska’s ONE RED program also offers eligible farmers grants of up to $23,000. Industry Investment: CLAAS opened an Omaha research and development center, and Baldwin Supply opened its first Nebraska branch, adding new activity in agricultural technology and industrial supply.
