G78-398 Irrigated Small Grain Production, Philip Grabouski, Walter Trimmer, Louis Daigger
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Excellent management practices for irrigated small grains are necessary to obtain high yields. What varieties should I use? How should the seedbed be prepared? What row spacing is best? What plant nutrients are needed? How much fertilizer should I use? When should I apply the fertilizer? What is the water intake rate of my soil? How much will it hold? When is the best time to irrigate? These are some of the questions in the mind of the irrigated small grain producer and are answered in this NebGuide.
G74-131 No-Till Corn In Alfalfa Sod, Alex R. Martin, Russell S. Moomaw
G74-131 No-Till Corn In Alfalfa Sod, Alex R. Martin, Russell S. Moomaw
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Nebraska produces about 1,740,000 acres of alfalfa annually. Corn or grain sorghum usually follows alfalfa in the crop rotation. The moldboard plow or chisel plow are commonly used to break up alfalfa sod for corn planting. The plow is a high consumer of energy, requiring about 2.25 gallons of diesel fuel per acre.
Research conducted in Nebraska has been used to develop a system in which the alfalfa is killed with herbicides and corn is planted directly into the sod without tillage. Plowing is eliminated and energy requirements can be reduced to about 1/4 that used in the conventional plow …
G73-27 Hedging Vs. Cash Contracts, Lynn H. Lutgen
G73-27 Hedging Vs. Cash Contracts, Lynn H. Lutgen
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide examines the advantages and disadvantages of hedging versus cash contracts.
There is substantial risk in agricultural production and marketing. Weather, insects, disease, world conditions and other circumstances can affect production and costs.
The actual market price which will exist when the commodity being produced is ready for sale is also unknown. Good management can at least partially compensate for the uncertainty associated with these and other unknowns.
The objective is to discuss two alternatives available to producers for reducing the market gamble or market risk. The alternatives are (1) hedging on the futures market and, (2) selling on …

G73-35 How To Plant Wheat, C. R. Fenster, G. A. Peterson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Winter wheat needs a seedbed that is firm enough to provide good seed-soil contact and is moist enough to provide water for germination and seedling establishment. Winter wheat needs a seedbed that is firm enough to provide good seed-soil contact and is moist enough to provide water for germination and seedling establishment. Other Nebraska Experiment Station information is available on how to properly prepare the seedbed.
G73-46 Hessian Fly On Wheat, John E. Foster, Gary L. Hein
G73-46 Hessian Fly On Wheat, John E. Foster, Gary L. Hein
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses the life cycle, control and prevention of the Hessian fly. Plant-safe dates and resistant wheat varieties are also examined.
The Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), is not native to the United States, but was probably introduced by Hessian soldiers during the Revolutionary War. This insect was given its common name by Americans because of its damage on Long Island in 1779. The pest has become distributed throughout the United States wheat production areas since then.
The Hessian fly belongs to the family of insects known as gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), a group noted for their habit of …

The current copy of the annual Extension Circular, Nebraska Fall-Sown Small Grain Variety Tests, includes detailed yield, bushel weight, other performance data, and period of years data. Nebraska Cooperative Extension and the University's Agricultural Research Division jointly publish these circulars which are available from Extension offices …
Rb63-211 Performance Of Alfalfas Under Five Management Systems, W.R. Kehr, E.C. Conard, M.A. Alexander, F.G. Owen
Rb63-211 Performance Of Alfalfas Under Five Management Systems, W.R. Kehr, E.C. Conard, M.A. Alexander, F.G. Owen
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This bulletin reports stands, forage yields, and other agronomic data on alfalfas of diverse origin or type tested under five management systems at Lincoln, Nebraska.
Narrow-crowned and broad-crowned types were tested. The management systems involved non-irrigated alfalfa-bromegrass tests (a) continuously grazed with steers, (b) cut for hay, and (c) rotationally grazed with sheep; an irrigated alfalfa-bromegrass test rotationally grazed with dairy cattle; and irrigated tests of alfalfas in pure stands cut for hay.
The Effect Of Captan, Demeton, And 4(2,4-Db) On Alfalfa Growth And Seed Production, Daniel M. Taylor
The Effect Of Captan, Demeton, And 4(2,4-Db) On Alfalfa Growth And Seed Production, Daniel M. Taylor
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The widespread use of chemicals for the control of diseases, insects, and weeds in the production of alfalfa seed has caused concern with regards to what effect these materials may have on the inherent reproductive potential of the plants. It has been reported that captan (N-(trichloromethylthio)-4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboximide) has both a morphological and physiological effect on some plants. The action of this chemical with regards to alfalfa reproduction has not been reported. Demeton (0,0-diethyl 0(and S)-2-(ethylthio) ethylphosphorodithioate) is another chemical used in alfalfa seed production for which the direct effects on reproduction have not been studied. Adverse effects have been reported on …
50 Years Of Research At The North Platte Experiment Station, W. W. Burr, J. C. Adams
50 Years Of Research At The North Platte Experiment Station, W. W. Burr, J. C. Adams
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The North Platte Experiment was established fifty years ago. So many changes have occurred since then that few people remember why research in dry land agriculture was started in Nebraska and other Great Plains states. In order to get a proper perspective, it may be well to consider some early history.
Ec38-118 Soil And Moisture Conservation In Nebraska, D.L. J. Gross, E.H. Doll
Ec38-118 Soil And Moisture Conservation In Nebraska, D.L. J. Gross, E.H. Doll
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
When the white men first explored Nebraska, they found little erosion taking place. They found the hills, particularly in eastern Nebraska, covered with a dense growth of grass, underlain with a thick mat of decaying debris. The valleys were even more densely covered with the water-loving grasses and sedges. The soil underneath the prairie was black and spongy, the result of centuries of accumulating humus. The valleys bordering the streams were boggy and abounded with springs. Clear water flowed constantly in the streams. The upland draws in the more favorable parts of the state were heavily covered with the big …

Ec35-50 Bindweed Eradication, T.A. Kiesselbach, P.H. Stewart, D.L. Gross
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Field bindweed, also known as small-flowered morning glory, European morning glory, Creeping Charlie, Russian Creeper, and Creeping Jennie, is becoming each year a greater menace to farm lands. The infestation of cultivated fields with this pest lowers the yield of crops an average of 30 percent, increases the labor costs, and reduces land and loan values. It is therefore important that land-owners learn to identify bindweed and guard against its introduction on their farms. Where it has become established, steps should be taken at once for its eradication.
This 1935 extension circular discusses identifying field bindweed, prevalence and spread of …
Ec33-136 Corn In Nebraska, P.H. Stewart, D.L. Gross, T.A. Kiesselbach
Ec33-136 Corn In Nebraska, P.H. Stewart, D.L. Gross, T.A. Kiesselbach
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Corn is Nebraska's most important crop. Of the nearly 19 million acres under cultivation in the state, over 10 million acres or more than 50 percent is normally planted to corn. This is three times the acreage of wheat, four times that of oats, and ten times that of barley. The 10-year average acre yield of corn for this state is 25.8 bushels compared with 26.9 bushels for the entire United States. Nebraska, with an average annual crop of approximately 258 million bushels, usually ranks third among all states in the total production of corn, being exceeded by Iowa and …

Ec31-133 The Management Of Nebraska Soils (Revised March 1936), P.H. Stewart, D.L. Gross
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The agricultural lands of this country are its greatest natural resource. History points out that nations with vast areas of good farm land are most likely to prosper and survive over long periods of time. Local communities, too, prosper and flourish in proportion to the productiveness of the surrounding land. Schools, social life, and business develop best in areas where the land is productive and properly managed and conserved.
Nebraska, in common with other states, has suffered by the depletion of soil fertility. The reduction in acres in legumes and grasses, and the deplation of the organic matter in the …

These Fifty Years: A History Of The College Of Agriculture Of The University Of Nebraska, R. P. Crawford
These Fifty Years: A History Of The College Of Agriculture Of The University Of Nebraska, R. P. Crawford
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
It seems especially appropriate at this time to publish a history of the College of Agriculture of the University of Nebraska. The year 1922 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the formal establishment of the college by the Board of Regents, while the year 1924 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the enrollment of the first students in agricultural subjects. It is hoped and intended that this little volume shall preserve for the future much valuable material that would otherwise soon be forgotten.
Destroy The Common Barberry Bush, A. N. Hume
Destroy The Common Barberry Bush, A. N. Hume
SDSU Extension Circulars
Why the Common Barberry Must Be Destroyed. It harbors and propagates black stem rust of wheat and other grains. It is a patriotic duty of every one in the state who owns even one bush of the common barberry to dig it out and destroy it and thereby help save the millions of bushels of wheat which are annually destroyed by rust.
