Farm country
24 Apr 2017
Since the founding of the nation, America’s agricultural industry has played a key role in the success of our economy. Today, that’s more true than ever. Farming and its related industries create somewhere in the neighborhood of 55,000 jobs every year.
Here in Phelps County, NE, agriculture is the foundation of the regional economy, with corn, soybeans, and cattle comprising the bulk of our farming. That’s an opportunity not only for job-seekers, but for businesses that serve the farming sector.
Learn more about Phelps, and about our 134-acre Iron Horse Business and Industry park.
