The University of Nebraska–Lincoln Hosts Pivot Bio's Year of One Million Thanks Buddy Seat Tour
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln will host a stop on Pivot Bio's national Year of One Million Thanks Buddy Seat Tour on Thursday, Nov. 5, bringing farmers, students, researchers, and agricultural leaders together for conversations about the future of agriculture.
The event will take place on Nebraska's East Campus, where Pivot Bio's traveling "Grati-Tractor" will be stationed in front of Chase Hall. Visitors are invited to see the tractor, write messages of appreciation to farmers, and learn more about the national initiative.
Throughout the day, Pivot Bio CEO Chris Abbott will host a series of "Buddy Seat" conversations with farmers, university representatives, students, and government leaders. These discussions will explore challenges and opportunities facing Nebraska agriculture, including:
- Workforce development
- Innovation and technology adoption
- Agricultural literacy
- Natural resource stewardship
- Rural economic growth
"At Nebraska, our land-grant mission is rooted in serving the people and communities who drive our state's agricultural industry," said Jessie Brophy, senior director of strategic initiatives and external relations for the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources. "This event is an opportunity to bring together producers, students, researchers, and industry leaders to exchange ideas, learn from one another, and explore how we can continue strengthening agriculture and rural communities across Nebraska."
The visit offers students an opportunity to engage with agricultural professionals and gain perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing the industry. It also provides a forum for producers, researchers, and industry leaders to share experiences and explore ideas that can benefit Nebraska agriculture and rural communities.
Buddy Seat conversations and student programming are planned throughout the day. Additional schedule details will be announced as they become available.
