Nebraska Soybean and Feed Grains Profitability Project
Onfarm Research Projects, 2000

The Nebraska Soybean and Feed Grains Profitability Project (NSFGPP) is an educational, on-farm research/commodity marketing program among Nebraska farmers, private industry representatives and the University of Nebraska Cooperative Extension. To view research results or learn more about the program and how to participate in it, visit the NSFGPP web site.

Results from 17 research trials conducted in 2000 will be discussed at the group’s annual meeting March 12, 2001 at the NU Agricultural Research and Development Center near Mead. The meeting, which is open to the public, will begin at 9 a.m. and conclude mid-afternoon; registration is required to provide a lunch count. The program also will be available via satellite. During the luncheon Dr. Darrell Nelson, dean and director of the UNL Agricultural Research Division, will discuss research being conducted by the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
