The Nebraska Ag Summit at Concordia University on March 22 will provide your students with interactive educational sessions and activities as they learn about the four main components of agriculture from industry experts.

The goal of this event is to provide your students with further insight into the agriculture industry and why it’s important for the next generation to learn the latest best practices as they prepare for their future service in the industry.

Throughout the day, students will be challenged to answer the question: How does the Nebraska agriculture industry assure American consumers a safe and healthy food supply?

Experts in animal science, plant science, food science and agribusiness will lead hands-on sessions where students will learn about the role each one of these concepts has within the agriculture industry.

Presenters include:

Animal science: Kimberly Clark, dairy systems extension educator, University of Nebraska Extension
Plant science: Ben Tremain, production agronomist, Corteva Agriscience
