Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources Unveils New 'Tough Times' Web Site
LINCOLN, Neb. — A new University of Nebraska-Lincoln Web site gathers a wealth of information to help Nebraskans deal with the economic crisis.
The Managing in Tough Times site, is from the university's Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources and includes materials from a variety of sources, especially UNL Extension.
At the site, visitors will find materials in a number of topic areas, including: money-saving ideas, family and relationships, home and food, livestock and crop production and education and opportunities.
"It's really a one-stop shop for a great deal of information Nebraskans can use to help them weather this economic downturn," said Kathleen Lodl, assistant dean of UNL Extension. "It includes links to previously released material that is relevant to today's situation, and we'll be adding new materials regularly."
"This site is in keeping with UNL's land-grant tradition – getting solid, research-based, unbiased information to our citizens," Lodl added.
The site archives UNL Extension publications, news releases and other materials. It also includes a link to a related national extension effort at eXtension.org.
