The University of Nebraska is encouraging individuals involved in agriculture and related industries to participate in a new workforce development survey. The goal of the survey is to better understand the current workforce needs across Nebraska’s agriculture sector.
Agriculture plays a major role in Nebraska’s economy. As the industry continues to grow and change, workforce demands also evolve. The university wants to gather input directly from producers, agribusiness professionals, educators, and industry partners to ensure that future programs match real-world needs.
The survey is brief and open to anyone working in agriculture or ag-related fields. Participants are asked to share their insights about workforce challenges, skill gaps, hiring needs, and opportunities for improvement. The feedback will help identify important trends and guide decisions about training, education, and workforce initiatives.
Information collected through the survey will support programs developed by the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources and its partners across Nebraska. These efforts aim to strengthen the agricultural workforce, improve career pathways, and ensure that Nebraska remains competitive in the agricultural industry.
Workforce development is essential for the future of farming, agribusiness, research, and agricultural services. By sharing their experiences and perspectives, respondents will help shape policies and educational programs that prepare the next generation of agricultural professionals.
The University of Nebraska emphasizes that broad participation is important. Every response will provide valuable insight into how to better support the agriculture community across the state.
