Nebraska Agriculture Groups Working on
Comprehensive Tax Reform and Education Funding
Leaders of Nebraska agriculture organizations who represent tens of thousands of Nebraska farmers, ranchers, and livestock feeders have come together to outline principles to guide actions on comprehensive tax/education funding reform for Nebraska. The principles are targeted to addressing Nebraska’s tax system that has led to an imbalance and overreliance on property taxes to fund education and other government services.
It’s important we collectively share where we believe the discussion on tax/education funding reform needs to go. Our principles provide parameters for the critical discussions that need to take place during the coming months leading up to the 2019 legislative session.
The Agriculture Leaders Working Group which developed these principles include member-elected leaders from the Nebraska Cattlemen, Nebraska Corn Growers Association, Nebraska Farm Bureau, Nebraska Pork Producers Association, Nebraska Soybean Association, Nebraska State Dairy Association, and the Nebraska Wheat Growers Association.
As a group they are working on establishing a set of principles to follow as we work toward the 2019 Legislative session.

One of the most important resources a dairy can develop to enhance and grow employee communications and retain employees is an employee handbook. A handbook can be as simple as the job description, lists of benefits including paid time off, medical insurance, expectations of each employee and the employees hourly wage. And an employee handbook can go into much greater detail such as the goal and mission of the dairy, the policies, dress code, safety, employee training and more. It is best to have more detail than not enough. Keep in mind as you develop your handbook, the more details and depth of the handbook, the greater the communication tool for employees.
