The Nebraska Corn Board has put together this section of the website to keep you informed on the growth and change of Nebraska corn from planting season to harvest time. We will include pictures from across the state showing the corn from each of our eight districts on a regular basis.

Nebraska is the largest irrigated corn producing state in the country. Nebraska farmers regularly produce over one billion bushels (23.5 MMT) of high quality corn. This corn is used to feed humans and livestock around the world as well as make ethanol, sweeteners, starches and a variety of other high-tech products.

As an added feature for this year's coverage of Nebraska's corn, eight FFA Chapters will provide photos of corn throughout the growing season. This gives us the opportunity to show the progress of Nebraska's corn statewide. The districts, the Nebraska Corn Board representatives and the FFA Chapters are:

• District 1 (David Nielsen): Norris FFA Chapter
• District 2 (Mark Jagels): Blue Hill FFA Chapter
• District 3 (Curt Freisen): Heartland FFA Chapter
• District 4 (Bob Dickey): Howells FFA Chapter
• District 5 (Tim Scheer): Loup City FFA Chapter
• District 6 (Dennis Gengenbach): Holdrege FFA Chapter
• District 7 (David Merrell): Fullerton FFA Chapter
• District 8 (Jon Holzfaster): Chase County FFA Chapter
  
  Additional Board Member, At-Large Director (Alan Tiemann) represents entire state
