After touring the railyard, Zuckerberg posted pictures on Facebook and commented about how important railroads are to the economy because of everything they haul. Zuckerberg spent about an hour at the Omaha event Saturday meeting with community leaders.

Previously, Zuckerberg had said he planned to tour the country this year as part of an effort to meet people in every state.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska fireworks retailers are scrambling into Iowa after that state’s ban ended last month and brushing aside concerns that the new policy could hurt sales for their existing shops along the border.

Retailers say they’re excited to expand into the new market after former Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad signed a law last month to legalize bottle rockets, roman candles and other consumer fireworks.

Iowans have traditionally bought fireworks in neighboring states that allow them. Many of the sales take place in Missouri, which offers year-round sales, but also in the Omaha area and South Sioux City, Nebraska.

Many of the Nebraska-based retailers are regional chains that already do business in multiple states.

The 2017 Cass County Relay for Life was another huge success in supporting Cancer Survivors in the are and raising funds to fight back against Cancer.

The night got started with a Survivor Meal at the Atlantic High School Commons where approximately 85 survivors joined for a free meal generously provided by the Atlantic Hy-Vee. A short program was held indoors for those survivors and then activities moved out to the track at 6:00pm.

Opening Ceremonies were followed by the Pennant Ceremony which was a change this year. Pennants were purchased, instead of luminaries, in memory or honor of someone who has lost their battle or is still fighting Cancer. Those names were read during a time of reflection for all in attendance. The Pennant Ceremony was then followed by the Survivor Lap celebrating another year of birthdays for all Survivors in attendance.

The night continued with food, education, kids activities, and entertainment. Villa Dance performed a number of routines with their students followed by music from local band Jett Black.

It was a beautiful sunny night to celebrate survivors, remember those lost, and fight back against Cancer. The accounting by the end of the night, with more donations still to come in, was $60,718.52 raised to support the fight against cancer with the American Cancer Society. Relay organizers would like to thank everyone involved that helped make the 2017 Cass County Relay for Life a huge success and we look forward to continuing the effort up to next year’s event.

A delegation of ten agricultural producers and officials from countries as far away as Australia completed their tour of Iowa this week. They visited a host of farms and agricultural facilities as well as communities, large and small. Murilo Betarillo works for an agriculture company in Brazil and says it was a thrill to see how farmers are respected in Iowa.

“I was really impressed with how people here are proud of agriculture and how connected with agriculture they are,” Betarillo says. “People here really give the love for the farmers, for agriculture, so I loved it.” Brazil and the U-S may be on separate continents but when it comes to farming, he says they could practically be next door.

“Brazil and the United States have a lot of similarities,” Betarillo says. “We are a big country so people in the city, they don’t care too much about farmers. It’s the same in Brazil. People in the big cities, they are not very connected to farmers but people in the agricultural states, it’s strong, like here in Iowa.”

The visit included stops on farms and tours of agricultural industries in the Des Moines area as well as Ames, Anita, Bridgewater, Sigourney, Nevada and Ellsworth. They also took in an Iowa Cubs game in Des Moines, the first baseball game for many of them. Delegates were from Australia, Brazil, England, Ireland, the Netherlands and New Zealand.
