History

NCTA occupies a 72-acre (290,000 m2) campus which adjoins the town of Curtis, Nebraska, on the northeast. The College also owns a 562-acre (2.27 km2) farm which serves as a field laboratory. The farm includes grain storage facilities, cattle growing and finishing facilities, and a completely diversified dry land and irrigated farming operation

The Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture was established in 1965 as a land-grant institution - known at that time as UNSTA. According to a researcher at Cornell College in Iowa, NCTA is the oldest college campus that was previously a high school and is still functioning today as an educational institution.
