Schedule 2 -- Productions of Agriculture taken from the 1885 Nebraska Census. For Jefferson Pct. in the county of Douglas on the 12 - 16 day of June, 1885

Included are totals relating to agricultural production for the farms owned by my ancestors and a few of their neighbors. In short, it is a glimpse at what was being grown or produced on the farms in this area in 1885.

It's a lot more interesting than it sounds.
