AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Defense & Manufacturing: U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is set to visit Omaha and Oshkosh Monday as part of the “Arsenal of Freedom” tour, spotlighting faster defense contracting and strengthening the defense industrial base—Oshkosh Defense is tied to major Army work. Beef & Tariffs: Trump’s plan to temporarily allow up to 300,000 metric tons of imported ground beef at tariff-free terms has sparked backlash from cattle groups and ranch-state Republicans, who warn it could undercut a tight U.S. supply and squeeze producers. Energy Prices: Nebraska fuel prices stayed volatile but mostly eased from spring highs; the week ending Aug. 15 saw diesel lows reported at $4.99 in Webster County and regular gas lows around $3.65 in Knox County, with statewide averages edging up. Agriculture Inputs: Soybean nematode management guidance is being pushed for farmers ahead of harvest testing, targeting soybean cyst nematode and other yield-robbing pests. Local Consumer Watch: BBB Scam Tracker shows Callaway and Sutherland each logged one scam report in July, with Omaha and Lincoln still leading Nebraska cities by total reports. Logistics Tech: Amazon says it will expand drone delivery to nearly 500 U.S. cities/towns by year-end, aiming for faster suburban drop-offs.
