Center for Rural Affairs
The Center for Rural Affairs was formed by rural Nebraskans concerned about the decline of family farms and rural communities. Chartered in 1973 under Nebraska state law as a private, non-profit corporation, headquartered in Walthill, a farm service center of 800 in the northeastern part of the state.
The Center's purpose is to provoke public thought about social, economic and environmental issues affecting rural America, especially the Midwest and Plains regions. These regions blend in Nebraska to give the state its special place in American Agriculture.

The Center is governed by a volunteer board of directors. About half of the board are farmers and ranchers; the rest are business people, educators and civic workers. The board's policies and programs are implemented by a staff of 22. |

The Center is not affiliated with any other organization. Financial support comes from sales of publications, fees for service, individual contributions and grants from private sources, churches and foundations. It is not a membership organization. |
