Nebraska Crop Production Economic Data, Worldwide Research Topic of Jan. 8 Seminar

Economic data from crop production in Nebraska and how it is being used in a worldwide research effort, will be the topic of a public seminar presented Friday, January 8, in Scottsbluff.

"Agribenchmarking: Using Nebraska Data on a Global Scale” will start at 3:15 p.m. in the Bluestem Room at the UNL Panhandle Research and Extension Center, 4502 Avenue I.
