Overview

The fertile prairie of Nebraska is part of America’s breadbasket. The state is a leading producer of wheat, corn, and forage grasses as well as cattle and hogs. The state’s agricultural wealth was endangered along with that of other Great Plains states, by the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. The devastation spurred congressional action to ensure the preservation of the nation’s topsoil. Today, psychology professionals in the state are pushing for legislation to allow psychologists to become primary care providers in the face of what they see as a shortage of psychiatrists.
