The Nebraska Precision Agriculture Conference will return for its second annual event on Friday, November 21, 2025, at the Hall County Extension Office in Grand Island. Organized by the University of Nebraska Extension and the Nebraska GIS/LIS Association, the one-day conference emphasizes a “back to basics” approach to digital and precision farming.
Bridging Technology and Practical Application in Modern Agriculture
As automation, sensors, and AI transform the agricultural landscape, the conference seeks to reconnect growers and educators with the core principles that make these technologies effective. Sessions will highlight how understanding the fundamentals—such as data collection, GPS-based guidance, and variable-rate application — can significantly improve efficiency and return on investment (ROI).
Supporting Producers, Educators, and Students Across Nebraska
The conference is designed for a diverse audience including producers, students, instructors, and ag professionals. Its program follows the cropping cycle, offering insights on how technology enhances every stage of production — from soil preparation and planting to harvest and post-season analysis.
Attendees can expect presentations blending research-based knowledge with real-world success stories from Nebraska farmers who are leveraging precision technologies for better productivity and sustainability.
Registration and Event Details
The event will run from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., with registration priced at $50 per person, including lunch. Pre-registration is required by Wednesday, November 19, 2025.
Through its practical, accessible format, the Nebraska Precision Agriculture Conference continues to strengthen the state’s leadership in ag technology education and adoption — ensuring both new and experienced farmers can thrive in an increasingly data-driven agricultural environment.
