Nebraska Extension and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service have launched the Regenerative Agriculture Learning Hub, a new initiative designed to support soil health, farm resilience, and sustainable agriculture across the state. As part of this program, a free webinar series is being offered to connect farmers and agricultural professionals with practical, research-based strategies.
The webinars are open to the public and do not require any program participation. These online sessions provide an opportunity to hear directly from agriculture professionals who are working to advance regenerative agriculture in Nebraska.
Participants learn about conservation practices, soil health improvement methods, and new ways to build stronger and more resilient farming systems.
The first webinar in the series is titled Nebraska Conservation Partners and will be held on January 22, 2026. This session will feature experts who will discuss how their organizations support conservation and regenerative agriculture efforts across the state.
Featured speakers include Jennifer Swanson, director of water quality initiatives with the Nebraska Association of Resources Districts; Nick Arneson, row crop agriculture projects lead for The Nature Conservancy in Nebraska; and Corey Brubaker, state conservation agronomist with Nebraska NRCS. These speakers will share their experiences, programs, and resources that help farmers adopt regenerative practices.
The webinar is free to attend, but registration is required. Interested participants are encouraged to register by January 22 to secure a spot. Registration is available online at:

The Regenerative Agriculture Learning Hub aims to build strong connections between farmers, conservation groups, and agricultural organizations. By providing access to research-based knowledge and real-world examples, the program supports better soil health, improved water quality, and long-term farm sustainability.
This webinar offers a valuable learning opportunity for farmers, advisors, and agricultural professionals who want to explore conservation partnerships and regenerative agriculture practices that support healthy soils and resilient farm operations across Nebraska.
