Lincoln, Neb. —Farm operators and agronomists are invited to attend the Nebraska On-Farm Research Network research results update meeting on Feb. 17 in at Alliance.
Nebraska farmers conducted over 100 on-farm research studies in 2021, and this meeting is an opportunity to learn from these farmers and network with other innovative producers.
