Flat Iron, A Cut Above Nebraska has been known as the Beef State since 1956. The state produces 1 in every 4 steaks that come out of this country, and cattle outnumber people in Nebraska 3 to 1. With the right beef producing conditions, it makes sense that the University of Nebraska would focus on issues affecting the beef industry. Chris Calkins spent decades researching and developing the industry, but he's best know for his part in devoloping the flat iron steak. His team figured out a way to re-fabricate that part of the beef carcass, so that instead of all meat from that section going to roasts and ground beef, it now goes to the second most tender steak in the entire carcass. Today baout one hundred million pounds of flat irons are sold annually. Haunting in the Heartland Rolling through northern Nebraska, a 53-foot-long 'Trailer of Terror' delivers spine-tingling thrills wherever it parks. But this is no ordinary haunted attraction -- it's the brainchild of a family from Atkinson with a natural knack for fright. What started as harmless fun has evolved into a mobile nightmare, spreading chills to small towns around the state. On this weekend, the eerie spectacle arrives in Wausa, daring locals to step inside. With Helpless Terror On Easter Sunday in 1913, Beulah Adams was walking in an Omaha park when a tornado dropped from the sky. She survived and shared her story of helpless terror in a letter to her mother. Sandhills Speed On the second weekend of August, the community of Arnold hosts its annual Sandhills Open Road Challenge. It's one of the three open road races in the USA. Racers from across the country compete in a variety of challenges, including the main event -- a timed contest on a 55-mile winding, scenic Sandhills highway. These racers feel the need, the need for controlled speed.
