The University of Nebraska West Central Research & Extension Center is a research and extension facility of the University of Nebraska Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources (IANR). It serves as the site for field-based research and extension involving faculty, technicians and graduate students in eight IANR departments. As part of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, we consider ourselves the front door to the University for those we serve in west central Nebraska. Our objective is to provide research-based information and other educational resources to the 20-county West Central district and beyond. West Central delivers research-based education and information to citizens throughout the state, conducting customized educational programs delivered via a variety of methods to meet the needs of Nebraskans.
