Producer Comments

How can A-FAN help you?

A-FAN has helped many farmers across Nebraska—and we’re proud to have been there. Here is some feedback from just a few producers we’ve worked with.

“When we first began thinking about investing in pork production on our family farm, we were looking for assistance. Then we contacted A-FAN—and they were there from start to finish for us. A-FAN has been a beneficial source of information and has made us feel comfortable throughout the decision making process.”

“When we were ready to grow our operation, we enlisted the help of A-FAN to help us understand and comply with local zoning regulations. It’s important that livestock production be a good neighbor in the community—and A-FAN helps livestock producers go about growing their operations in the right way.”

“We have been very happy to host visitors to our operation during the A-FAN bus tours. People need to see modern agriculture in order to understand how it has changed and how producers are absolutely dedicated to making the investment of time and resources required to responsibly care for their animals and the environment.”

“A-FAN made us comfortable in what we were going to do. A-FAN talked with our planning and zoning officials and double checked everything necessary to assure us we were on the right track. We really appreciated the job A-FAN did for us.”
