Workshop Overview
The Workshop on Applied Statistics in Agriculture and Natural Resources brings together statisticians and researchers across academia, industry, and government to share insights and advancements in the application of statistics to address challenges in Agriculture and Natural Resources. The workshop will feature workshops, sessions for contributed papers and poster presentations.
With a unique interdisciplinary focus, this workshop also provides students and emerging scholars with exposure to statistical research that directly impacts Agriculture and Natural resources. We emphasize the practical application of statistics to solve real-world challenges, showcasing the collaborative efforts between statisticians and researchers in agriculture and natural resources. The relaxed atmosphere of this workshop allows for participants to submit abstracts made jointly by a statistician and researcher. Presentation of data sets and analyses which motivated the work shares equal importance with development of the statistical theory. Papers on either new or innovative applications of existing statistical methodologies are appropriate for presentation at this workshop. Students are encouraged to participate in the juried oral and poster presentation competition.
We look forward to welcoming you to Lincoln in May 2026!

Workshop History
Starting in 1989, the Conference on Applied Statistics in Agriculture was held for 30 years on an annual basis in Manhattan, Kansas. Now titled the "Workshop on Applied Statistics in Agriculture", this workshop provides a unique forum for discussion of statistical issues motivated by agricultural problems and brings together statisticians and researchers from academia, industry and government to develop and discuss new methodologies and innovative applications in statistics for the advancement of agricultural research. This workshop also holds a tradition of exposing students and developing scholars to new statistical research directly relevant to agriculture. Statistical topics presented and discussed at the Workshop on Applied Statistics in Agriculture has varied broadly over the years and included, amongst many others, graphical models and causal inference, machine learning, spatio-temporal statistical models, statistical methods for genome-enabled prediction of complex traits, graphics, Bayesian inference, generalized linear mixed models, statistics for messy data, modern experimental design and statistical issues in QTL mapping and epigenomics.
