AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Defense & Manufacturing: U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is set to speak Monday at Oshkosh Corp. after visiting U.S. Strategic Command in Omaha, as the Pentagon pushes a “commercial-first” defense acquisition push aimed at speeding innovation and boosting the manufacturing workforce. Nebraska Consumer Protection: Nebraska AG Mike Hilgers approved a settlement requiring Resideo Technologies and ADI Global Distribution to stop selling Dahua and Hikvision surveillance products in the state and pay $400,000 over alleged cybersecurity vulnerabilities and misleading marketing. Beef Prices & Trade Policy: The Trump administration’s temporary easing of beef import tariffs—plus plans to reopen a cattle border crossing—has drawn pushback from ranchers and lawmakers, with economists warning it may not meaningfully lower grocery prices. AI, Crypto & Nebraska Business: CleanCore Solutions, a Nebraska-listed company, sold its entire Dogecoin position for about $33.4M and is redirecting proceeds into an AI infrastructure joint venture. Local Economy: North Platte is weighing utility rate increases that could raise typical combined electric, water and wastewater bills by about $10 per month. Education & Talent Pipeline: UNL expanded its 9/11 remembrance into a month of service and named the 2026-27 Kiewit Scholars cohort, continuing Omaha-based Kiewit’s engineering talent investment. Agriculture Workforce: UNL’s Seed Industry Scholars program is building a pipeline for seed science agronomists as the industry faces retirements. Public Safety: A Nebraska man who used ChatGPT to plan a bank robbery in Omaha was sentenced to 121 months in federal prison.
