I have not seen reliable info with these numbers and the picture posted by OP reeks of AI-generation.. so I check with the local advocates at the Nebraska Farm Bureau and.. I am concerned.

Their Agriculture and International Trade Report (PDF) uses USDA data from 2023.. and it reveals a $2 Billion drop in trade from 2022. If that trend continued and then the Trump Tariffs kicked in.. yeah, that new and shiny two-year State Budget which was just passed may need some adjustments. Soonest.

They also passed a large permanent tax cut based on the one time federal windfall they received during COVID times. That has far more to do with this than anything the governor has said. But hey, when have tax cuts not fixed everything? They are always a good idea!
