Pribbeno named to beef advisory committee

    Twenty-three beef industry experts, agri-business leaders and producers have been named to an external advisory committee of Nebraska Beef Innovation.
    The group, which includes an Imperial man, will provide guidance to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln on key regional and broader opportunities and issues within the beef industry in Nebraska and beyond.
    Logan Pribbeno, president, Wine Glass Ranch, Inc. of Imperial, is on the committee.
    “The University of Nebraska has made a commitment towards integrated beef systems and assembled an amazing team of teachers, researchers and extension personnel. It’s a unique opportunity to make a tremendous difference in how we look at beef systems,” said Clay Mathis, committee co-chair.
    The committee will provide input for exceptional outcomes for Nebraska’s beef industry, which is uniquely positioned at the epicenter of beef production.
    “Nebraska is stepping out and putting forth a focused, purposeful initiative that is serving not only the beef producers of Nebraska, but the beef producers of North America,” said Mathis.
    Capitalizing on world-renowned research, teaching and extension efforts already in place, Nebraska’s Beef Innovation Hub’s vision is environmentally sound, resilient, socially responsible and economically viable beef for Nebraska and beyond, he said.
    Nebraska seedstock producer, external advisory board member and alumnus of Nebraska’s College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, David Schuler believes Nebraska has the right people in the right places to help build agriculture.
    “I hope Nebraska continues down the path that I’ve seen the last 10 years, focusing on the importance of agriculture. We’ve got some big challenges in the beef industry.
    “We need to continue to make sure the voice of the beef industry is heard,” Schuler said.
