The fifth annual “Successful Farmer Series,” will be held weekly starting Jan. 10 and ending Feb. 14 at the Lancaster Extension Education Center, 444 Cherrycreek Road, Lincoln. Multiple sessions and topics allow ag producers to pick the topics most relevant to them and their operation. Each session will also be streamed live online. All sessions will be 9–11:30 a.m. Scheduled topics are:
• Friday, Jan. 10 – Energy and Agriculture
• Friday, Jan. 17 – Insects and Diseases
• Friday, Jan. 24 – Ag Policy and Data
• Friday, Jan. 31 – Soil Management
• Friday, Feb. 7 – Resiliency and Diversification
• Friday, Feb. 14 – Weather and Markets
Each topic will feature two to three speakers from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln or related agencies. We will also invite other experts to attend and address more specific questions or interact with attendees during the breaks. This is also a great opportunity to visit with other producers in the area.
The cost is $5 per session or $15 for the entire series. Refreshments will be provided.
