Jeff Bradshaw
Jeff Bradshaw joined the UNL faculty as an Assistant Professor at the Panhandle Research and Extension Center in January 2010. His program has been able to attract a Fulbright scholar from South Africa to work on sugar beets, beginning in the summer of 2011. He was awarded nearly $400,000 in grants to support his entomology program, either as lead investigator or in collaboration with others.
Jeff hit the extension ground running with presentations at the Nebraska Dry Bean Workshop and Western Sugar Research Reporting and Planning sessions in that same month. He has become an integral member of the research and extension teams at the Panhandle Center with exploration of production factors that impact dry edible beans and sugar beets, while opening up new programming opportunities with our cow-calf/range management specialist and the team of specialists at the West Central Research and Extension Center.
