Nebraska Grown Christmas Tree Directory Available

November 30, 2007

Greg Ibach, director of the Nebraska Department of Agriculture, would like to encourage Nebraskans to buy a Nebraska-grown Christmas tree for their holiday season.

"With the holidays rapidly approaching, I'd like to remind Nebraskans that there are plenty of Christmas tree growers located throughout our state that offer a wide variety of beautifully grown trees. When you purchase a Nebraska-grown tree, you are supporting your local economy."

The Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) has a Nebraska Christmas Tree Growers Directory available in print and on line to help consumers find the right Christmas tree farm to visit. The Directory features over 40 tree farms throughout Nebraska. Copies are available by calling NDA at 800-422-6692, emailing agr.promo@nebraska.gov, or visiting their Web site at www.agr.ne.gov and looking under "brochures." Copies also are available at county extension offices, Natural Resources District offices and Natural Resources Conservation and Development offices.
