No kidding?  They're really getting into hazel nut production in 
Nebraska?  

It's of somewhat academic interest, but 90% of the US production of 
hazelnuts is grown right here in Oregon.  The majority of the world 
supply comes from Turkey.  It takes a pretty narrow climate spectrum to 
make a go of commercial hazelnut cultivation.
