NDA sets ag youth conference

Nebraska Department of Agriculture

High school students continue to show their passion for agriculture and their enthusiasm to attend Nebraska’s premier youth ag event, the Nebraska Agricultural Youth Institute.

The Nebraska Department of Agriculture received a record number of applications from high school juniors and seniors across the state to attend NAYI this summer.

NAYI brings together hundreds of students every year to learn more about Nebraska agriculture, network with ag leaders and explore career opportunities.

This year, NAYI will be held July 8-12 on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s East Campus.

NAYI is in its 53rd year, making it the longest running ag youth program of its kind in the nation. This year’s theme, “Leading Your Legacy,” is appropriate because students participating in NAYI start a legacy of exceptional ag leaders in Nebraska.
