University of Nebraska System President Ted Carter says the U of N campuses could not be better positioned to help farm and ranch families.
He says colleges need to think outside the box when recruiting ag students.
He tells Brownfield they created a tuition-assistance program called Nebraska Promise where student tuition is paid for if families make less than $60,000 dollars a year. “That was a really strong reaction last year, we had over 7,000 students apply for that program,” he said.
