G95-1262 Feeding The Beef Cow Herd--Part Ii Managing The Feeding Program, Richard J. Rasby, Ivan G. Rush, Don C. Adams
G95-1262 Feeding The Beef Cow Herd--Part Ii Managing The Feeding Program, Richard J. Rasby, Ivan G. Rush, Don C. Adams
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Feed costs are the cow/calf producer's greatest expense in producing a weaned calf. To remain competitive, cow/calf operators must use economical feeding programs. It is important to match the available feed resources with the nutrient requirements of the first-calf-heifer and cow. Both over- and underfeeding the cow herd can lead to high production costs.
Nutrient requirements for heifers calving as 2-year-olds and cows calving as 3-year-olds and older are shown in Table I. Beef cows are seldom fed complete rations where ingredients are weighed daily. Generally, most of a cow's ration is forages such as: 1) summer and winter range, …
G95-1238 1995 Usda Sire Evaluation Changes, Jeffrey F. Keown
G95-1238 1995 Usda Sire Evaluation Changes, Jeffrey F. Keown
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This publication discusses the 1995 USDA Sire Evaluation Report and its impact for dairy producers.
The January 1995 USDA Sire Evaluation Report incorporates changes that will not only increase the accuracy of prediction for cow and sire evaluations, but also includes a base change. Major changes included:
new Mature Equivalent Factors,
adjustments incorporated for days open,
and the genetic base year changed to 1990.
Let's discuss each change and look at how these changes will effect the 1995 proofs.
G95-1242 Ventilation Fans: Performance, Gerald R. Bodman, David P. Shelton
G95-1242 Ventilation Fans: Performance, Gerald R. Bodman, David P. Shelton
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This publication describes how to use fan performance and system resistance data to achieve the desired effect and efficiency of a ventilation system.
Many people perceive ventilation simply as a fan. However, effective ventilation of a livestock building or the aeration of stored grain requires a complete ventilation system.
A simple ventilation system may consist of fans to move the air, inlets or outlets for air distribution, and manual controls. More complex systems may include ducts, perforated floors, automatic controls, and other components. Regardless, all components must be carefully designed, selected, installed, managed, and maintained to achieve satisfactory results.

Ec95-1873 Cultural Practices That Influence Wheat Diseases, John E. Watkins, Robert N. Klein, Paul C. Hay, Lenis Alton Nelson
Ec95-1873 Cultural Practices That Influence Wheat Diseases, John E. Watkins, Robert N. Klein, Paul C. Hay, Lenis Alton Nelson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The health of a wheatcrop is determined well before the crop is planted. It is often the result of subtle factors in the management history of the field, including varieties, seed quality, seedbed, planting date, residue management and post harvest weed control. Wheat health management practices before the crop is planted must limit, as much as possible, the number of production hazards that must be dealt with after planting. Important diseases influenced by cultural practices include crown and root rot, wheat streak mosaic, soil-borne wheat mosaic, barley yellow dwarf, leaf rust, smut diseases, scab, Cephalosporium stripe and tan spot.
G95-1266 Environmental Considerations For Manure Application System Selection, Richard K. Koelsch
G95-1266 Environmental Considerations For Manure Application System Selection, Richard K. Koelsch
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Selection and operation of manure application equipment must consider environmental issues along with materials handling and economic factors.
Land application of livestock manure faces growing scrutiny because of potential surface and groundwater contamination and odor nuisances. Producers must consider features of a manure application system that enhance their ability to use manure's nutrients, and provide ways to minimize nuisances experienced by neighbors during manure application.
G95-1255 Shock Chlorination Of Domestic Water Supplies, William L. Kranz, Delynn Hay, Al Ackerman
G95-1255 Shock Chlorination Of Domestic Water Supplies, William L. Kranz, Delynn Hay, Al Ackerman
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes procedures for introducing chlorine to eliminate bacteria in private water systems. Unlike public water supplies that are regularly tested to ensure the water is safe to drink, individuals or families using private water supplies are responsible for testing for contamination. If test results indicate that bacterial contamination is occurring, shock chlorination is the most widely suggested method of treatment. Shock chlorination is the one-time introduction of a strong chlorine solution into the entire water distribution system (well, pump, distribution pipeline, hot water heater, etc.).
G95-1272 Blue Mustard Control, Gail A. Wicks, Drew J. Lyon, Robert N. Klein
G95-1272 Blue Mustard Control, Gail A. Wicks, Drew J. Lyon, Robert N. Klein
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Blue mustard is a serious weed in winter wheat and alfalfa in central and western Nebraska. This NebGuide discusses methods of control.
Blue mustard [Chorispora tenella (Pallas) D.C.] was introduced into the U.S. from Siberia in 1929 and was first reported in Lewiston, Idaho. It was identified in Keith County Nebraska in 1953.
G95-1254 Weed Control In Alfalfa, Robert Wilson, Gail Wicks, Alex Martin
G95-1254 Weed Control In Alfalfa, Robert Wilson, Gail Wicks, Alex Martin
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes how weeds can be controlled in alfalfa. Weeds can interfere with alfalfa from the time of seeding through the life of the crop. Increased weed density in new seedings of alfalfa can decrease alfalfa stand. Weeds can also substantially reduce yield and quality of established alfalfa. In severe situations alfalfa yield can be reduced over 50 percent from weed competition (Figure 1). As weed content increases, the percentage of alfalfa in forage declines. Normally the quality of forage declines as the percentage of weeds increases.

The intended audience is potato growers; tomato growers would also benefit.
Ec96-144 Fertilizer Management For Conservation Tillage, Charles A. Shapiro, Richard B. Ferguson
Ec96-144 Fertilizer Management For Conservation Tillage, Charles A. Shapiro, Richard B. Ferguson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Conservation tillage as a means of reducing soil erosion has increased in popularity due to government conservation compliance and economic factors. Management of crops under reduced tillage has necessitated changes in the use of several inputs. The goal of this publication is to focus on the use of fertilizers under reduced tillage with special emphasis on corn production practices.
