Sorghum Research Meeting

It is my pleasure to welcome you to East Campus this morning, and I thank you for inviting me to be here with you. I am pleased that we have this opportunity to come together to exchange information and ideas, to update on what's happening now, and to look to the future. It is important that we make and take advantage of such opportunities to communicate with each other, to learn each others' views, and to work with each other toward our common goals. I want to personally thank the people who have worked to organize this meeting and to put this morning's agenda together.

Cattlemen's Conference

Many good things are happening in the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources. I thank each of you here today for the support and interest you show in the Institute's work. We greatly appreciate the value you put upon IANR, and the many times you step forward for the Institute and the work we do that is so important to our powerhouse agricultural state. IANR truly is at work for Nebraska. And thank you, also, for helping others understand that fact - for example, Homer Buell's testimony this spring before the legislature's appropriations committee was powerful and convincing evidence of the importance of IANR to Nebraska's future.
