She takes personal interest in family and generational farming, and has been working with farmers for 31 years - 28 of those years with Legal Aid of Nebraska. Legal Aid of Nebraska has been the home of the Rural Response Hotline from the start up in 1984. The hotline is a statewide organization and has served as a model in starting other hotlines in other states.
