Bill and Jerry Adams on Building Nebraska podcast

Bill and Jerry Adams sat down with former Adams Intern, Rebel Sjeklocha with Rural Radio Network for the Building Nebraska podcast.

“How did a small family business turn into a state of the art, world renowned cattle feedyard? The answer lies with brother duo Jerry and Bill Adams. Their parents, Russell Jr. and Angenette Adams began backgrounding a few thousand cattle. These days, the operation has a feeding capacity of 125,000 head, with another 125,000 being backgrounded. Since the beginning, Adams has been dedicated to adopting the newest technologies, participating in research, and elevating the cattle feeding business at large. Their mission is simple: to produce high quality, sustainable beef for a hungry world. Over the years, the business has expanded, responded to challenges, and infused their community with opportunity. According to Jerry, there are three things business growth, or lack thereof, hinges on: opportunity, investment, and black swans. Learn how the Adams brothers capitalized on opportunities, made smart investments, and navigated black swan events in the latest episode of Building Nebraska! Building Nebraska is powered by the Engler Agribusiness Entrepreneurship Program at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln.”
