Hello everyone! My name is Connor Biehler and I am the new Beef Extension Educator with adult education responsibilities for Cass County and 14 other counties in southeast Nebraska. I am a native of south-central Illinois where I developed a passion for agriculture through my family’s operation as well as 4-H beef projects. My degrees include an Associates of Science in agriculture from Lake Land College, Bachelor of Science in animal science from Oklahoma State University, and Master of Science with a focus in cow/calf and sire nutrition from University of Tennessee-Knoxville. Prior to pursuing my master’s, I worked as a feed salesman in Oklahoma.
Otoe County would like to invite the youth from surrounding counties to participate in our upcoming Livestock Judging Clinic on May 1. Blaine French and the UNL Livestock Judging Team will be hosting this clinic in Syracuse, Nebraska. Please contact the Otoe County Extension Office if you have any questions.

Let’s start with the lawn.
