The state of Nebraska is an 8-letter word that borders Iowa. Nebraska is located in the Midwestern United States and is bordered by South Dakota to the north, Iowa to the east, Missouri to the southeast, Kansas to the south, Colorado to the southwest, and Wyoming to the west. Nebraska is the only triply landlocked U.S. state, meaning it is entirely surrounded by other states. Nebraska is known for its agricultural production, particularly beef, pork, corn, and soybeans.
