Agriculture entrepreneurs will share experiences, successes and challenges Thursday evening as panelists hosted by the Collegiate Cattlemen club.

The student organization invites all Aggies of the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture to attend.

The program will benefit those interested in livestock production, equine management, agribusiness, animal health and other agricultural-related businesses, said Cassidy Frey, club president.

“We want to introduce agricultural entrepreneurs to the campus,” Frey said. She is an agricultural education major at NCTA, and a member of the Livestock Judging Team.

The free program is open to the public. It begins at 6 p.m. at the Nebraska Agriculture Industry Education Center auditorium.

Part of the University of Nebraska system, the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture is a two-year institution with a statewide mission of preparing students for successful careers in agriculture, veterinary technology and related industries. NCTA is known for its affordable tuition, high job-placement rate for its graduates, and for the success of student teams in competitive activities including crops judging, ranch horse events, livestock judging, shotgun sports, stock dog trials, and intercollegiate rodeo. The college is consistently ranked as one of the best two-year schools in the nation.
