Nebraska
Great Plains state
Nebraska is a state in the central United States, part of the Great Plains region.
Its landscape is predominantly flat agricultural land, known for corn and cattle production.
We drove through Nebraska on our way to Colorado.
The name comes from an Otoe word meaning "flat water," referring to the Platte River.
