NCSA had a special visitor drop in this morning. It was great catching up with the one and only Dr. Dan Ernst!

We are incredibly grateful to @fnbo for their generous $25,000 donation to the Nebraska Farm Bureau Disaster Relief Fund in response to the devastating spring wildfires across Nebraska.
This support will go directly toward helping impacted farm and ranch families rebuild, recover, and move forward during an incredibly challenging time. Partnerships like this make a real difference in our rural communities.
Thank you, FNBO, for standing with Nebraska agriculture when it matters most.
