Since last fall, my email account has been working overtime! I have never seen so much excitement for an academic program in all of my life. NCTA's new 100 Beef Cow Ownership Advantage Program gives all farm kids and small-town cowboys like me a real chance of owning our own ranch and cow herd! Wouldn't we all rather own it than rent it? That's the concept anyway and it's spreading like wildfire. Most of us know that rural Nebraska is dying, but I believe this program offers a chance to combat that economic downturn. We want rural development in towns like Thedford, Crawford, Burwell, Plainview, and Franklin? Well....sending multiple students home with 100 head of cows will be a good start in those struggling communities.
We had a great turnout at the seminar last Tuesday. It is not only great to see the excitement in the students' faces, but also in the faces of their parents and grandparents. There seems to be a new found hope in the "Beef State."
Strengthening rural Nebraska.....NCTA is all in!
