Part of central Nebraska’s farm country, Holt County’s agricultural sector stands as a backbone of the local economy, supported by both traditional farming methods and newer, innovative agricultural practices like hydroponics. The intersection of U.S. 281 and U.S. 20 sits in O’Neill’s city limits, giving the town access to two of the longest U.S. routes in the nation. U.S. 20 runs from coast to coast, covering 3,365 miles and connecting the Pacific Northwest to the Northeast.Hilco Real Estate Sales and Murray Wise Associates are pleased to offer this greenhouse operation located in central Nebraska.
