Nebraska assesses gather farm statistics for state report
State statutes require assessors to collect agricultural data and forward summaries to the county clerk who sends them to the state board of agriculture. In 1916 2 000 assessors received blank reports with a plea for careful truthful work to safeguard Nebraska farmers from manipulation by grain dealers. The board uses the collected data to publish a governor's report and curb unjust speculation.
