A variety of career opportunities were presented to more than 170 students at the Careers in Ag Day onWednesday, Nov. 12, at the UNL Panhandle Research Extension and Education Center in Scottsbluff.
“I was here for the first year, and I think we had 25 or 30 students, and we had great buy-in from the community. The local ag community supports this thing wholeheartedly and does a great job. Now we’re up close to 200 students every year, and it’s just an opportunity for these young people to spend time with the AG leaders of this community,” said Paul Burgener,V.P. of Central U.S. Farm Management for Manulife Investment Management Ag Services.
The event features seven sessions, including conventional production agriculture and livestock, ag sales, and food science, as well as a career fair.
