Since 2017, the staff at HAL has hosted a family field day. The Haskell Ag Lab’s Family Field Day educates the public on the importance of science and agriculture through exhibits, demonstrations, presentations, and tours. It provides research-based programming showcasing cutting-edge agricultural practices being utilized at the Haskell Agricultural Laboratory, and highlights the research and projects produced by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Nebraska Extension. Field day is free and open to the public. It features both commercial exhibits and educational booths.
