Agriculture matchup between Cornhuskers, Buffaloes ahead of rival game
September 7th, 2024 | RRN Staff

As the Nebraska Cornhuskers are set to host the Colorado Buffaloes this weekend, let’s see how the two match up in agriculture. 

First in farm acres statewide, Nebraska beats out Colorado by 14 million acres. 

Nebraska boasts over 3.6 million more cattle and 3.2 million more hogs. 

And no surprise, Nebraska plants over 7 times the amount of corn, but when it comes to wheat, Colorado has the state beat by over 1 million planted acres. 

Colorado agriculture is also known for peaches, sunflowers and sugar beets.
