LINCOLN, NEB. – “On behalf of Nebraska agriculture, Nebraska Farm Bureau would like to extend our appreciation and highest gratitude for the leadership and service of Dr. Mike Boehm as the Vice Chancellor and Vice President of the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources (IANR). Nebraska agriculture partnership with the University of Nebraska and IANR is critical to the continued growth of the state’s largest industry. Mike solidified and grew that partnership in many areas during his nine-year tenure leading the Institute. Programs and services provided by IANR to farmers, ranchers, and rural Nebraskans are in much higher level in the areas of agricultural education, research, and extension. Mike’s visionary and innovative approach to many initiatives over his tenure will leave a legacy of progress that we in agriculture can build upon in the future. His accessibility, vision, and his passion for the IANR and agriculture has certainly made an impact on the future of Nebraska agriculture.”
The Nebraska Farm Bureau is a grassroots, state-wide organization dedicated to supporting farm and ranch families and working for the benefit of all Nebraskans through a wide variety of educational, service, and advocacy efforts. More than 56,000 families across Nebraska are Farm Bureau members, working together to achieve rural and urban prosperity as agriculture is a key fuel to Nebraska’s economy.
