The Nebraska Wheat Board recently held their first quarter meeting in North Platte, Nebraska. The meeting included the swearing in of Rick Dunbar as representative of District 7, updates from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, a strategic planning discussion and the election of this year’s chair and vice chair.
