Nebraska farmers play an important role in a cranes diet. Before continuing their long journey North, the cranes stop and along the Platte River to find a good source of food which consists of corn, left on farmlands from the fall harvest, insects, worms and snails just to name a few. Most of their time is spent searching for food before flying back to the sandbars on the Platte River where they are protected from predators such as coyotes and bobcats.
