The former president of the Nebraska Farm Bureau has been honored by another state agriculture group.

The Nebraska Corn Growers Association gave Keith Olsen its Golden Ear award to recognize everything he has done for agriculture.

Olsen, of Grant, led the Farm Bureau for nine years before deciding to step down last year.

The Corn Growers’ Carl Sousek says Olsen had an extremely positive impact on agriculture during the time that he served the state.

Olsen’s family farms in Perkins County and raises wheat, cord and dry peas.
