Nebraska has the land, water and natural resources- as well as the University of Nebrask-Lincoln science- that make Nebraska the perfect place to raise the high-quality beef that is in demand worldwide.

Science makes the difference in the sustainable and efficient production of delicious, nutritious and safe beef products. The stories in this publication explain the University of Nebrask-Lincoln research that makes Nebraska the epicenter of beef production.

 

The stories are presented in four categories:

  • Nebraska Beef: nutritious, delicious, sustainable
  • Stewards of the Land
  • Health and Safety
  • Educating the Next Generation
