University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Today is the second to last day of the tour. This morning we went to their feedlot operation. We watched how they mix all of their feeds for the specific pens. They use big dump trucks that have mixing blades inside to ensure the feed thoroughly mixed before speeding it to the pens. Next we went to the east Campus where their Agricultural college is located. We toured their Agricultural Sciences building, animal science building, and tractor testing lab and track. We also tried a simulation in their commodities trading room. That was pretty interesting but I would definitely need more information about that fully appreciate that program simulation. Our tour ended at the ice cream shop on campus. It is managed and produced by their Food Science Deoartment. They buy the milk from local dairies since they only have about 15 dairy cows. To end the day we toured the football stadium. That was pretty cool! Tomorrow we visit Claas Combines and Union Pacific.
