Nebraska ag director Steve Wellman says this year’s Governor’s Ag Conference will focus on entrepreneurship in food and agriculture.
“We are focusing on some new opportunities in agriculture…some
topics that aren’t usually talked about in production agriculture,” Wellman
says.
The conference kicks off with a “Spirit of Nebraska’s
Entrepreneurs” panel presentation moderated by Tom Field of the University of
Nebraska’s Engler Agribusiness Entrepreneurship Program.
“For example, a soon-to-be graduate from the university who is selling home-raised beef from her farm and growing her operation. And there’s operators that will talk about their coffee-roasting business,” Wellman says.
