Nebraska & Specialty Crop Research Initiative

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln viticulture program is part of a multi-state team that received a $2.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture Specialty Crop Research Initiative. The grant will tackle the obstacles in vineyards, wineries, tasting rooms and tourism to bring cold hardy grapes to a wider market.


The project will partner with grower organizations from across the northern U.S. including the Nebraska Winery and Grape Growers Association.
