Hayes County Planning & Zoning Regulations
Livestock Friendly
Hayes County joined 34 other Nebraska counties when it was officially designated a Livestock Friendly County by the Nebraska Department of Agriculture in the summer of 2015. On September 22, 2015, Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts made a visit to Hayes Center to celebrate the designation by presenting a recognition plaque to the Hayes County Commissioners.
“Hayes County’s location and abundance of natural resources makes it a perfect fit as part of the Livestock Friendly County program…The citizens of Hayes County are committed to agriculture and have proven they want to Grow Nebraska”
– Governor Pete Ricketts
(The Hayes Center Times Republican, Vol. 125, No. 28)
“It was apparent from Hayes County’s application that they recognize the critical tie between a successful agriculture sector and a thriving local economy…I applaud county leadership for seeking this designation as a way to encourage responsible livestock growth”
– Bobbie Kris-Wickham, Assistant Director of Agriculture
(The Hayes Center Times Republican, Vol. 125, No. 28)
