Happy National Agriculture Week!
We are fortunate to be a part of a historic agricultural college in rural Nebraska. Curtis and its residents first embraced the institution in 1913 as a regional high school and, since 1967, as a technical college.
This year, National Agriculture Week coincides with the University of Nebraska spring recess so many of our students will be spending time back home, at their farming and ranching operations.
