In addition to the tools and resources provided by UNL Beef, below are some other programs and services brought to you and operated through the University of Nebraska that may be useful to you and your operation.
Nebraska Women in Agriculture
The Women in Agriculture program is committed to providing educational opportunities for all Nebraska women interested in developing management skills in every facet of agriculture by providing leadership, learning experiences, support, and networking avenues to empower women to compete and survive in this challenging and complex industry.
Nebraska Beef Quality Assurance (BQA)
Beef Quality Assurance is a nationally coordinated, state implemented program that provides systematic information to U.S. beef producers and beef consumers of how common sense husbandry techniques can be coupled with accepted scientific knowledge to raise cattle under optimum management and environmental conditions.
Center for Ag Profitability (CAP)
The interdisciplinary Center for Agricultural Profitability (CAP) is based in the Department of Agricultural Economics. It facilitates faculty research, conducts extension outreach related to agricultural profitability and farm and ranch management and trains undergraduate and graduate students — all to support informed decision-making in agriculture.
Animal Manure Management
Recycling local manure nutrients before purchasing fertilizer is key to protecting the environment. Manure can be an economic “Win”, due to its fertility value, and a soil quality “Win”, due to its organic matter. But it can also be a community risk, due to odors and pathogens. Our live educational programs, online courses, and resources provide science-based information on economically viable, environmentally sound manure handling systems that also comply with all regulations.
National Drought Mitigation Center
The Drought Center helps people, organizations and institutions build resilience to drought through monitoring and planning, and we are the academic partner and web host of the U.S. Drought Monitor. Our capabilities include climatology, social science and public engagement, and we work at all scales, from individual ranches to local, state and tribal government, and countries around the world.
Nebraska Meat Science Extension
Consistent with the long tradition of Extension, Meat Sciences at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has established a robust and collaborative meat extension program focused on providing solutions to the challenges facing today’s industry but also with an “eye” on the future. By utilizing a needs-based approach to programming, coupled with equity across a diverse and inclusive set of stakeholders, Nebraska delivers programming, resources, and expertise to grow and sustain the Nebraska meat industry and produce future leaders through meat focused youth programming.
Market Journal
Market Journal is information for agricultural business decisions. Every topic covered is first measured by this standard. The Market Journal crew is determined to help the agricultural producer improve his or her bottom line, to help make the business more profitable.
