Join us in honoring and celebrating more than four decades of remarkable leadership, career and service of Paul Jasa, an extension engineer in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering. A reception will be held Friday, June 27, in Chase Hall, Room 219.
Paul Jasa is an internationally recognized expert in no-till agriculture whose lifelong commitment has shaped conservation farming across Nebraska, the United States and beyond. For more than four decades, Jasa has served as an extension engineer at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, pioneering research at Rogers Memorial Farm and inspiring generations of farmers and students through his leadership in sustainable agriculture. His innovative work has earned him numerous accolades, including the Shirley H. Phillips No-Till Award, the SWCS Harold and Kay Scholl Conservation Award, induction into the Nebraska Hall of Agricultural Achievement and two No-Till Legend awards by No-Till Farmer Magazine.
Paul and his late wife, Lisa Jasa, devoted their careers at Nebraska Extension to helping producers make informed management decisions. In 2022, two years after Lisa's passing, Paul established the Jasa Soil Health Education Fund to continue their shared mission—with a focus on soil health and environmental sustainability. The fund provides annual grants to Nebraska Extension professionals statewide who assist producers in improving profitability, building soil health, and reducing environmental risks.

All faculty, staff, students and public are welcome to attend the retirement reception.
