Full funding expected for UNL-based USDA research center

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Ronnie Green says he’s optimistic UNL will receive full funding for an on-campus USDA research facility. 

He tells Brownfield UNL has secured $31 million of the $120 million for the center that will focus on precision ag and innovation. “We know that we have funding yet to come and yet to be appropriated.
