Understanding the Purpose, Expectations & Policies

08/04/2026

We had a great BRAG trip traveling through Southeast Nebraska with our Kearney/Franklin County BRAG and our Adams/Webster BRAG groups. Day one consisted of Reinke Irrigation in Deshler, Pinecrest Tree Farm in Blue Springs, Den’s Country Meats in Table Rock, Lewis and Clark Visitor’s Center on the Missouri River, and Lied Lodge in Nebraska City. Day two was Arbor Day Lodge, Kimmel Orchard, a trip to Daryl Obermeyer’s farm where we learned about conservation techniques on his Nemaha County farm, Brownville and the Otoe County Fair in Syracuse. It was a great experience with some great young people!!
