At NCIG, we spend time listening to you and learning how your operation functions in real life. Every ranch is different, and liability exposure is not one size fits all. Those conversations help us think through coverage that supports the long term stability of the operation, not just the policy paperwork. If you would like to review your liability coverage or talk through how your operation is exposed to risk, I am always available to help at joe.roberts@fnicgroup.com or (402) 861-7000. I am always glad to visit about ways insurance can help protect what you have worked so hard to build. ~NC~ About NCIG: NCIG was established as a partnership between Nebraska Cattlemen and FNIC to provide you, Nebraska’s beef producers, with risk management services specific to the work you do.

Research and field experience show that reproductive success in young cows depends on the interaction of multiple factors, including nutrition, forage management, genetics, herd health, reproductive physiology, production systems and environmental stress. This initiative is designed to move beyond single-topic recommendations and provide producers with a systems-based understanding of young cow management. The overarching goal is to increase pregnancy and rebreeding success in second- and third-calf cows statewide, supporting more sustainable operations and a stronger future for Nebraska’s beef industry. Program updates and educational opportunities will be announced as the initiative rolls out. At the NU system level, we are gearing up for a big event in April. The Council on Competitiveness and the University of Nebraska will co-host a national event focused on the opportunities presented by the bioeconomy. This event will bring together leaders from industry, academia, government and other key stakeholders to discuss the future and potential of bioeconomy through panels, keynotes and discussions. I’m thrilled this event will take place in Nebraska, where the bioeconomy is already thriving, and where we have so much potential to shape this critical component of our economy. I hope you are having a wonderful spring. Thank you, as always, for your partnership, and please stay in touch. ~NC~ NCIG CONTINUED FROM PAGE 80 IANR CONTINUED FROM PAGE 78
