University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Ronnie Green says he’s optimistic UNL will receive full funding for an on-campus USDA research facility.
He tells Brownfield UNL has secured $31 million of the $120 million for the center that will focus on precision ag and innovation. “We know that we have funding yet to come and yet to be appropriated. We have full support of the USDA and have support in Congress we believe to see the rest of this come in.”
UNL secured $11.2 million in federal funding in December 2020 for the planning and design of a USDA Agricultural Research Service facility located at UNL’s Innovation Campus.
