Learning Center at Gothenburg, NE

What is the Gothenburg Water Utilization Learning Center?

The Gothenburg Water Utilization Learning Center was developed to provide answers and solutions to current questions and issues raised in production agriculture. Our focus at the Learning Center is to help farmers achieve their yield and productivity goals with an emphasis on water utilization.

At a Glance

  • Gothenburg, NE
  • 324-acre research farm
  • Average annual rainfall of 23 inches
  • Soil type is a silt loam

What will I see during a visit to the Learning Center?

At the Gothenburg Water Utilization Learning Center you will see our three-pronged systems-based approach in helping farmers manage drought: native genes selected through traditional plant breeding, the additive impact of biotech traits, and finally the additive impact of agronomic components of the system. This three-pronged approach is quite different than our competitors.
