Located in the Nebraska Sandhills, the Gudmundsen Sandhills Laboratory spans Grant, Hooker and Cherry counties. The former Rafter C Ranch was leased by the University of Nebraska–Lincoln from the University of Nebraska Foundation in 1981 to serve as a hub for research in the Sandhills.
GSL plays a key role in developing environmentally and economically sustainable plant and animal production systems for the Nebraska Sandhills, using ranch economics across various research areas. The open house serves as a way to share this research with producers and community members across the state.
