Effects Of No-Tillage Fallow As Compared To Conventional Tillage In A Wheat-Fallow System, C. R. Fenster, G. A. Peterson
Effects Of No-Tillage Fallow As Compared To Conventional Tillage In A Wheat-Fallow System, C. R. Fenster, G. A. Peterson
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
The benefits of reducing tillage by use of herbicides for weed control emphasizes why research was started to study a fallow system where all tillage was replaced by herbicides. Wheat planting was then the only soil disturbing operation. Objectives of the research were to compare the effects of no-tillage (chemical), stubble-mulch and plow (bare fallow) systems of fallow on: 1. Grain yield. 2. Grain protein. 3. Residue retention. 4. Soil nitrate-nitrogen accumulation. 5. Soil water accumulations during fallow. Data presented are in the form of a progress report. These experiments will continue.

G79-474 Understanding Wind Erosion And Its Control, William A. Hayes, C.R. Fenster
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Wind erosion is a serious hazard on millions of acres of land in the United States, most of which are in the Great Plains.
There are a number of things an individual can do control wind erosion but basically they all point to accomplishing one or more of the following objectives:
1. Reduce the wind velocity at the soil surface. This is done with windbreaks, crop residues, cover crops, surface roughness, and wind stripcropping.
2. Trap soil particles. This is accomplished by ridging or roughening the soil surface to trap moving soil particles.
3. Increase size of soil aggregates. This …

G79-432 Creep Feeding Lambs, Ted Doane
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses creep feeding for lambs, making supplemental feed available only to nursing lambs.
Creep feeding is a management practice of making supplemental feed available only to nursing lambs. Creep feeding is desirable because: (1) lambs gain as much as a third to half a pound per day more when their milk diet is supplemented with grain, (2) the lambs are ready for market 1 to 2 months earlier, thus earlier marketing is adapted to a higher market for spring lambs, and (3) the lambs are not allowed to go to spring pasture, thus permitting more ewes on the …
