Keith Glewen is a University of Nebraska faculty member with a 100% Extension appointment in the Southeast Research and Extension Center District. He has regional and in some cases, statewide program responsibilities for agronomic and natural resource/environmental related issues, with particular emphasis in areas of agricultural profitability, on-farm research and soil and water management-stewardship. Recently, Glewen has focused his efforts on developing programs for industry consultants that support farm operators in the Midwest Region. Glewen has worked with faculty and stakeholders to successfully develop a Crop Management and Diagnostic Clinic at the University of Nebraska Eastern Nebraska Research & Development Center. Field based training sessions are offered during the growing season to provide crop consultants and industry agronomists with diagnostic training to enhance the application of best management practices in the production of row crops. In 2018, 242 participants representing 39 Nebraska Counties and 13 States estimated the value of this training to be $43.1 million dollars. In working with commodity boards, Glewen has secured funding to implement research and education programs. They have included, Soybean Management Field Days, Irrigation and Energy Management Field Days, Nebraska Soybean Day & Machinery Expo, Nebraska No-Till Conference and Nebraska Cover Crop Conference.
Early in his career, Glewen developed a very effective program with farm operators focusing on transferring field research to the farm, entitled the Nebraska Soybean and Feed Grains Profitability Project. This project engaged farm operators in eight Nebraska counties conducting on-farm research. Today the project has expanded under the umbrella of the Nebraska On-Farm Research Network.
Many of the above programs are based on partnerships developed through relative and effective programing during his career.
Besides the above, Glewen has been effective in working with area farm operators in developing and growing effective corn and soybean commodity organizations, considered to be among the most active in Nebraska.

Researchers Learn that Lady Beetle Diet Influences Its Effectiveness as Biocontrol Agent - UNL
By examining what lady beetles eat, USDA scientists are learning more about the movement of these beneficial insects in farm fields—and whether they'll actively feed on crop pests.
Managing Brown Stem Rot and Sudden Death Syndrome in Soybean
August 23, 2012
With soybeans now in the mid- to late pod-filling stages, some stem and root rots are showing up. Brown stem rot and sudden death syndrome have been reported at several sites across Nebraska. With both of these diseases foliar symptoms can be similar so correct identification through other means is critical to successful management.
Drought Stress May Make Scouting for SCN Easier
This year's drought conditions may hold one benefit for soybean producers: a better opportunity than most years to scout for the elusive soybean cyst nematode (SCN).
