On October 12, 2021, the Center for Agricultural Profitability at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln held the first of two webinars focused on the current state and potential growth of the meat processing industry in Nebraska, which focused on financial and legal issues associated with developing a new meat processing plant.

It was presented by Elliott Dennis, assistant professor of livestock marketing and animal health at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln; Charlie McPherson, Center Director with the Nebraska Business Development Center at the University of Nebraska at Omaha; and Dave Aiken, Professor and agricultural and water law specialist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

This episode is a short conversation between these three presenters summarizing the main points discussed in the webinar. The full recording is available to view in the Center for Ag Profitability’s webinar archive on our website, and at cap.unl.edu/processing.
