U.S. Senator Ben Sasse released the following statement Monday announcing that Steve Nelson, former president of the Nebraska Farm Bureau (NEFB), has joined his staff as a senior agriculture policy advisor.
"It's Nebraska's job to feed the world -- and we're darn good at it. We're leading the way, but we have to keep pushing for more trade deals and less Washington red tape. Steve is an expert, and I'm proud to have him on our team as we keep working hard to serve Nebraskans."
Nelson farms near Axtell and served as NEFB president for nine years beginning in 2011.
