States of the Union: Nebraska

Wednesday, May 07, 2008

Nebraska is a major agricultural state; we find out how rising food prices and rising fuel prices are affecting voters in the Cornhusker State. Nebraska is holding its Republican primary on May 13 and we look at the race for the state’s open Senate seat. Mike Tobias is reporter and Senior Producer at NET Television News & Public Affairs, Nebraska’s public television network.

States of the Union fact of the week: Kool-Aid was invented in Nebraska, and Arbor Day was started in Nebraska.
