Matt Schulte’s connections to agriculture are rooted in his personal background and his prioritized focus areas as a Lancaster County Commissioner. Growing up in Nebraska, Schulte spent significant time on the family farm in Central Nebraska and worked summers detasseling corn. This direct, early exposure provided him with a firsthand understanding of the physical labor and operational demands of Nebraska’s agricultural sector. He has advocated at the legislature for bills that protect Summer youth detassling jobs.
As a commissioner representing District 3, Schulte’s advocacy translates this foundational background into local policy priorities that heavily impact rural and agricultural areas. His primary focus area is county infrastructure, specifically the maintenance and improvement of roads and bridges. For agricultural communities, reliable transportation infrastructure is critical for moving equipment, transporting livestock, and hauling grain efficiently to market. By championing infrastructure upkeep, Schulte works to ensure rural routes remain functional for the local agricultural economy.
Additionally, Schulte has found himself right in the middle of conversations around the installation of solar farms, battery farms, and data centers in rural areas, siding with local land
