This week on MJ!
It has been an exciting week at the Eastern Nebraska Research Extension and Education Center. On Thursday, UNL officials hosted the opening of the new Klosterman Feedlot Innovation Center. This state-of-the-art facility will help usher in a new era of research and provide opportunities to students. The Market Journal team had the chance to get a peek behind the curtain of the new project.
We had the opportunity to attend the 2024 Weed Management Filed Day. Extension Weed Specialist Amit Jhala took the time to discuss the day’s events. If you are looking for a comprehensive resource on weed management in Nebraska, we have the tool for you. Get the 2024 guide for weed, disease, and insect management in Nebraska.
