I’m proud (and a little nervous) to finally launch: Farmhand on Demand 🚜 A place where farm owners and farm workers can connect. If this helps even one farmer breathe easier during a busy season, it’s worth it. 👉 fhod.net #fhod #farmhandondemand #agriculture

Nebraska harvest and northern lights. @NWSOmaha

So excited! I’ll be at Arrowhead to cheer them on.

@NWSOmaha Albion, NE (near center of town)

Did you receive some storm damage last night? We want to hear from you, especially if you are located in the areas highlighted below where damage was most likely. If so, please give a general location and approximate size of the tree limb or type of damage. #IAwx #NEwx Thanks!

@harpermurray4 I have a sassy little soon to be seven year old who is all about competition. Everything we do; whether it’s feeding cows or cleaning the kitchen, she always turns it into a match of some sort. She’s got that Harper Murray fire.

I don’t use X much so didn’t realize it’s hard to DM. Please respond to this tweet & tell me about some little Huskers that want to watch some volleyball in Ord on Saturday.

I may have to be a silent guest on this episode if this all comes together. So many questions racing through my mind.

@RobertKennedyJr, you need to be the next guest on the Business of Agriculture podcast hosted by @DamianPMason. This would be an episode everyone would want to listen in on. Oh to be a fly on the wall… #RFKJr #businessofagriculture #podcast #MakeAmericaHealthyAgain

@Patoneill2075 @momma_alison @NTVsSteveWhite I can only imagine. I know nothing about commercial taxes so I will definitely take your word for it. Like I said, wish there was an easy button for everyone.

Are you willing to pay sales tax on things like haircuts, home repairs, and music lessons if it means your property tax bill in Nebraska goes down?

@momma_alison @NTVsSteveWhite Thank you for being such a great listener! I wish there was any easy button for all of us.

@ashleybabl @NTVsSteveWhite I am sorry to hear this. It's hard enough being a farmer!!! We should make it easier.

@NTVsSteveWhite @momma_alison It is a huge part and a hard part of the experience. We are incredibly fortunate to have such a strong ag economy but it is strained by taxes. Any place with a weak farm economy tends to suffer tremendously.

@ashleybabl @momma_alison I've asked lots of farmers. For many, it's one of their biggest expenses in raising a crop.

@NTVsSteveWhite Yes! If we could create more opportunities and reason for tourists to come to Nebraska. Places such as Tennessee are able to do this. If we solely rely on sales taxes for things like hair cuts, etc. the burden would be passed on to the business creating a whole set of issues.

@momma_alison @NTVsSteveWhite It’s not very fun. For example, on about 3 qtrs of fairly sandy farm ground in Boone County, the producer I have in mind pays $20,000. That’s not to mention their land payment of $40,000. Then there is the utility bills, input costs for the crops or commodities they raise. Etc.

@ashleybabl @NTVsSteveWhite I am happy to hear more. I am not a farmer, so am unfamiliar.

@momma_alison @NTVsSteveWhite Have you asked a farmer what it’s like paying property taxes? It’s outrageous.

@NTVsSteveWhite No. I don’t want the tax burden shifted to those who have a harder time paying taxes. I honestly don’t think our property taxes are that outrageous but even if they are, this is not the way to help.

@dane_berggren @momma_alison @NTVsSteveWhite I was just going to say something to this effect. Ask a farmer what it’s like paying property taxes.

@momma_alison @NTVsSteveWhite You should compare farmland property taxes to the states around us
