baked goods, dairy product, soft drinks)is the leading manufacturing activity in Nebraska by a wide
margin. The state is one of the world's major meatpacking centers. The production of chemicals
(pharmaceuticals, pesticides, fertilizer) ranks as Nebraska's second most important manufacturing
enterprise. Machinery (farm equipment, telecommunications equipment, scientific, medical and surgical
instruments) ranks third.

are the leading income producers in the services industries. Ranking second are the wholesale (farm
products, farm supplies, food products) and retail (automobile dealerships, grocery stores) trade sector
and the insurance, finance and real estate sector. Omaha is a Nebraska financial center. Ranking third
are the government services (electrical utilities, public schools, public hospitals, military bases,

- Natural Resources: Soil and water are Nebraska's most important natural resources. The state
lies above a layer of porous rock and other materials called the High Plains Aquifer. This water-saturated layer is
like a large underground lake, spreading from Texas to South Dakota. Two thirds of the High Plains Aquifer lies
under Nebraska. Nebraska may have more underground water than any other state. Nebraska's mineral resources are
scarce; some petroleum and natural gas; some sand and gravel; some limestone and clays.
