AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Broadband & BEAD: Nebraska is reopening its BEAD bidding portal after multiple providers declined to sign final agreements, leaving 1,735 eligible locations (about 12%) still uncommitted—another sign the federal rural internet rollout is getting bumpy. Rural Economy & Weather: A new study links Corn Belt irrigation and shallow groundwater to more frequent and longer-lasting thunderstorm complexes, with Nebraska in the mix from Ohio to Nebraska. Cost of Living: Grocery prices are expected to keep climbing as another inflation wave hits food, driven by weather, tariffs, and livestock supply pressures—adding strain heading into the 2026 election cycle. Agribusiness Pressure: Nebraska farmers face fertilizer and energy costs that could stay high into spring 2027, squeezing margins. Public Safety & Policy: U.S. Sen. Deb Fischer is pushing Nebraska to prioritize fiber in broadband expansion, challenging the state’s reliance on other technologies. Community & Workforce: Nebraska Public Media plans a dedicated Omaha FM station launching June 15 to expand local coverage. Business Spotlight: A Fremont-area energy drink brand, Crani-Yum, is gaining traction across Nebraska. Legal/Brand Fight: Nebraska-born drag climate activist Pattie Gonia says she’ll fight Patagonia’s $1 trademark lawsuit over her name.
