Once known as the Great American Desert, Nebraska's plains and native
grasslands today make it a domestic leader in producing food, feed and
fuel. From Omaha to Ogallala, Nebraska's founding farmers, ranchers and
agribusiness leaders endured hardships while fostering kinships that
have lasted generations. While many continued on the trails leading
west, others from around the world stayed, seeking a home and land to
cultivate. American Doorstop Project co-founders and authors Jody L.
Lamp and Melody Dobson celebrate the state's forgotten and untold
agricultural history, highlighting more than a century and a half of
agriculture industry, inventions and innovations in the Cornhusker
State.
