AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Berkshire Hathaway Update: Omaha-based Berkshire Hathaway spent about $4.5 billion on share buybacks in Q2 and is also drawing down cash, with higher operating profit reported as it accelerates repurchases. Ag & Food Safety: Nebraska is in the middle of two national food-safety stories—Salmonella tied to Mexican jalapeños (345 sick in 27 states) and a growing cyclosporiasis outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce (now reported in 15 states, including Nebraska). Nebraska Health Policy: Nebraska says about 200 people lost Medicaid coverage Aug. 1 under new work rules, with the state citing safeguards but not releasing underlying data. Statehouse/Business Regulation: The Nebraska Public Service Commission opened a complaint against grain dealer The Andersons over delayed payments to a Nebraska producer, while urging other sellers to report similar issues. Workforce & Education: Nebraska’s education commissioner says a requested 5% agency spending cut won’t apply to the school funding formula, though the department still faces a smaller general-fund reduction. Local Business Support: The Nebraska Department of Agriculture and the Rural Response Hotline will host free farm and ranch clinics statewide starting Aug. 10, offering one-on-one help on legal and finance issues.
