UNL Chancellor says producers are keeping pace with advancing ag technologies
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Ronnie Green says ag educators are helping producers implement emerging technologies more efficiently than before. “Some might say it’s a little faster than it used to be, right? The technology is moving faster than it used to be. I think it’s also safe say that producers are keeping up with that technology as well,” Green says.
As an example, he tells Brownfield UNL Extension helps producers learn how to use technology through the Testing Ag Performance Solutions (TAPS) program. “It facilitates a number of interactive, real life farm management competitions. So, where producers are actually competing with one another through application of technology for their production units,” he says.
Additionally, Green says farmers and ranchers are finding new ways to use data to gather research for their operation through the recently announced FarmStat tool.
