LINCOLN, NEB. – Management practices focused on reducing carbon footprint and increasing efficiency while also increasing production is top of mind for farmers and ranchers. That was one of the messages given to Nebraska’s congressional delegation from members of the Nebraska Farm Bureau (NEFB) Young Farmers and Ranchers (YF&R) Committee during their annual national affairs visit to Washington, D.C.

Members of the committee urged Nebraska’s elected leaders to push back against the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) proposed rule requiring publicly traded companies to provide climate related information from their entire supply chain in their filings and annual reports.
