Nebraska Extension in Lancaster County’s fourth annual “Successful Farmer Series,” will be held weekly starting Jan. 4 and ending Feb. 8. Multiple sessions and topics allow ag producers to pick the topics most relevant to them and their operation. All sessions will be 9–11:30 a.m. at the Lancaster Extension Education Center, 444 Cherrycreek Road, Lincoln. Refreshments will be provided. Attendees at last year’s series estimated a $16 per acre value gained by participating.

Scheduled topics are:
• Friday, Jan. 4 – Cover Cropping 2.0
• Friday, Jan. 11 – Alternative Crops
• Friday, Jan. 18 – Spray Drift Management (featuring a mobile lab)
• Friday, Jan. 25 – Changes in Ag

• Friday, Feb. 8 – Ag Marketing (attendees will be given access to a computer to follow along)

All topics will feature expert presenters from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Other experts will be available to 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.
