LYONS, NEBRASKA – Today, directors from the Center for Rural Affairs, based in Lyons, Nebraska, announced the postponement of several small business trainings, networking events, and beginning farmer events throughout Nebraska, to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus.

“The Center for Rural Affairs is committed to continuing our work for opportunity and justice for everyone in rural America during the rapidly evolving response to the Coronavirus,” said Brian Depew, executive director. “COVID-19 and the ripple effects will create new challenges for rural people and rural places.
