The Legislature hereby finds that the general welfare of the people of Nebraska will significantly benefit from the conduct of programs designed and intended to enhance the effective marketing of Nebraska’s many agricultural commodities.

Terms Used In Nebraska Statutes 2-3802

  • Marketing: shall include any and all activities intended to directly or indirectly facilitate the sale, exchange, or other distribution of a product or commodity in an economic, efficient, and profitable manner, including research, market development, publicity, promotion, education, product utilization, and comparable activities. See Nebraska Statutes 2-3807
  • Process: shall mean a summons, subpoena, or notice to appear issued out of a court in the course of judicial proceedings. See Nebraska Statutes 49-801
  • State: when applied to different states of the United States shall be construed to extend to and include the District of Columbia and the several territories organized by Congress. See Nebraska Statutes 49-801

The Legislature further finds that the meaningful realization of such benefits will result through the administration of programs and policies conceived, desired, and formulated by and for those persons who produce, process, or distribute such commodities as an integral part of their livelihood. It is necessary that the programs conducted by and for the various segments of the agricultural industry be efficiently coordinated, so that the marketing efforts expended on behalf of each commodity will complement the marketing programs in the state.
