How To Use the "Owner's Listing" and the "Beginning Farmer and Rancher Listing".

• The "Lists" will be available on-line or by mail (call the hotline for a mailed copy) for easy access. Once farmers and ranchers obtain the information they want, they will be responsible for contacting the names directly to negotiate any rental agreements or transactions.

• In order to help ensure that the "lists" contain accurate, up-to-date information, participants are encouraged to call the hotline number to update their posting with any changes or if they no longer want to participate in the listing.

• Postings older than one year will be removed automatically. Once a posting has been removed for this reason, participants can call the hotline and re-enter their posting with any updated information.

• Call the Beginning Farmer Hotline at the Nebraska Department of Agriculture if you have questions.
