Thank you to everyone who visited the UNL TAPS booth during Husker Harvest Days.

The 2026 Crop Skills Challenge welcomed more than 630 competitors over three days, bringing together students, producers, educators, and industry professionals to test their agronomic knowledge and learn from one another.

Visitors also explored TAPS demonstration plots, connected with partners, and learned about the technologies and management strategies helping support data-driven decision making in agriculture.

We were proud to host our first V-TAPS Scholarship Competition and celebrate the next generation of agricultural leaders.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by Lot 928 and helped make this year's event a success!

🏆 Stay tuned as we'll be announcing our daily Crop Skills Challenge top three finishers and V-TAPS Scholarship Competition winners soon.
