(Lincoln Journal Star) -- JournalStar.com reports that record corn production of 1.52 billion bushels and record-equaling yields of 166 bushels per acre are within reach this year in Nebraska, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service at USDA. Meanwhile, "Nebraska soybean production is expected to reach 228 million bushels, the third biggest crop on record." According to the article, "more bushels ought to provide stability" to a weakened ethanol industry and the state's livestock sector, which generates "more than half of all the state's agricultural sales receipts."
