Bureau of Sociological Research helping steer ag policy research

The expanses of land across farms and ranches are wide, but the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Bureau of Sociological Research has years of experience gathering perspectives from producers — no matter the geography — helping inform agricultural research, practices, and state and federal policymaking.

Research conducted in partnership with BOSR over the last year explored women in agriculture, grazing, soil health, precision agriculture practices, social networks and grain marketing.
