Farmer Research

BOSR often works with researchers to survey farmers. Knowing more about farmers helps inform policies to better support and protect farmers, who can in turn continue to grow food to feed us. Below are featured partnerships surveying farmers.

"The services offered by BOSR are second to none. I have worked with them on multiple projects and I am fortunate that UNL has this facility that I can rely on. Special thanks to Minshuai Ding and Amanda Ganshert for working with me."
