The land-grant university system helped shape America, and Nebraska is helping lead its future.

Since 1869, @UNLincoln has connected research, teaching and @UNLExtension to serve Nebraskans across all 93 counties.

Irv Omtvedt, a key IANR leader in the late 20c, died on Monday. He left a strong legacy in strengthening the university and Nebraska agriculture. Respected for his vision and diplomatic skill. Also a leader in national animal science circles

(My thanks to Chuck Schroeder for invaluable observations on the IANR history of that era)

Agriculture needs the next generation of leaders — and Nebraska is preparing them.

Sue Ellen Pegg highlights how @UNL_CASNR students gain hands-on experience, explore 20+ majors and step into careers across ag, tech and science.

Spring break in the field.

UNL students witnessed the sandhill crane migration along the Platte River and prairie chickens in the Sandhills — hands-on learning rooted in Nebraska’s landscapes.

Agriculture powers Nebraska and its people.

Driven by farmers, ranchers and communities committed to doing the work and supporting one another.

[Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources @UNL_IANR]

Agriculture is Nebraska’s #1 industry, and many policies affecting producers are shaped in Washington, D.C.

UNL senior Allison Walbrecht recently traveled to the nation’s capital as a CARET delegate and Yeutter Student Fellow to learn firsthand about ag policy and advocacy.

[Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources @UNL_IANR]

Hands-on learning. Real-world skills. Future ag leaders.

The Haskell Ag Lab in Concord is giving students immersive experiences in agronomy, forestry, meats, and more — building career-ready skills beyond the classroom.

Metabolic 'speed limit'! There may have been a time (long ago) that I flirted with the limit--today, mostly Sunday strolls on the metabolic highway!
