FORAGE ECONOMICS: Nebraska Extension forage specialist Bruce Anderson retired last summer, but he reflected on his career in helping forage growers and livestock producers across the region. “Recognize that forage economics often affect profitability in livestock systems, more than any other component,” Anderson notes. “Producers should consider themselves forage farmers, with livestock primarily harvesting and marketing the crops.” Bruce Anderson retired this past summer after decades of working with farmers.
Bruce Anderson grew up on a small dairy farm in south-central Minnesota. He earned his bachelor’s degree in agronomy from the University of Minnesota and master’s and doctorate degrees from the University of Missouri.
