Despite tariff concerns and low grain prices, Nebraska agricultural producers are on track for a good year overall.
Net farm income in the state is projected to reach $8.42 billion in 2025, up from $5.94 billion last year, according to the Fall 2025 Farm Income Outlook from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University of Missouri.
Increased livestock receipts and government payments represent the bulk of the additional income, which were enough to offset lower crop receipts and production expenses.
