Rp92-217 No. 6 Delivering On A Live Cattle Futures Contract, Al Wellman
Rp92-217 No. 6 Delivering On A Live Cattle Futures Contract, Al Wellman
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
A producer who hedges with a live cattle futures contract normally will offset the futures position by buying a futures contract and selling the cattle on the cash market. However, there may be a time when it is advantageous to make delivery of the cattle against the contract. In fact, the potential or alternative for delivery is an important necessary contract feature.
Live cattle futures follow a Certificate of Delivery procedure, the details are covered later in this Fact Sheet. Mid-America Exchange delivery units equal one-half the size and have the same delivery conditions as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) …
G92-1099 Estimating Effective Rainfall, Joel E. Cahoon, C. Dean Yonts, Steven R. Melvin
G92-1099 Estimating Effective Rainfall, Joel E. Cahoon, C. Dean Yonts, Steven R. Melvin
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
How irrigators can estimate effective rainfall, and use that estimate to schedule irrigations properly. Scheduling irrigation based on crop demand (see NebGuide G85-753 Irrigation Scheduling Using Crop Water Use Data, on the checkbook method) requires an estimate of effective precipitation or rainfall. Effective rainfall estimates are also important for planning cropping sequences in both dryland and irrigationd crop production. Effective rainfall is the amount of rainfall stored in the crop root zone. Rainfall that runs off the soil surface or passes through the root zone does not contribute to crop growth and yield. There are two steps to estimating effective …

Cc92-365 Stewardship Forest: The Sign You Care
Cc92-365 Stewardship Forest: The Sign You Care
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
What is a "Stewardship Forest?"
Forests are more than just trees, they are a vital resource in Nebraska. Forests provide homes for deer, squirrels, birds and a multitude of other animals. Forests clean air, purify water and protect valuable topsoil. Forests provide wind protection and conserve energy. Forests are a place to hike, picnic and camp. Forests grow wood for fuel, posts and lumber to build homes, furniture, toys and tools. Forests provide solace and beauty.
A "Stewardship Forest" is a parcel of well-managed forest or associated land whose owner is publicly recognized for being a "good steward" of the …
G92-1071 Ridge Plant Systems: Weed Control, Robert N. Klein, Gail A. Wicks, Alex Martin, Russell S. Moomaw, Fred Roeth, Robert G. Wilson, Paul J. Jasa
G92-1071 Ridge Plant Systems: Weed Control, Robert N. Klein, Gail A. Wicks, Alex Martin, Russell S. Moomaw, Fred Roeth, Robert G. Wilson, Paul J. Jasa
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Advantages and disadvantages of the ridge plant system, weed control before and at planting and economics of the system are discussed. Ridge planting combines tillage and herbicides to achieve improved weed control in row crops. Crop seed is planted into ridges formed during cultivation and/or ditching of the previous crop. In ridge planting, the planter follows the old row and ridge clearing sweeps or disks move the surface soil, residue and much of the weed seed out of the row. Weed seeds are deposited between the rows where, upon germination, they can be controlled with cultivation. Two cultivations are generally …
G92-1115 Corn Quality For Industrial Uses, David S. Jackson
G92-1115 Corn Quality For Industrial Uses, David S. Jackson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Characteristics of corn used by industry are discussed here. Publications frequently refer to the term "Corn Quality," but this term means little without being placed in context. The Official U.S. Standards for Grain defines Corn Quality for typical marketing transactions involving grain marketed in the United States. It rates corn quality based on purity, color, the amount of broken and foreign material, total numbers of damaged kernels (including heat-damaged, sprouted, frosted, weather or ground damaged, moldy, diseased), heat-damaged kernels, stones, moisture, and test weight. Official standards, however, are only useful as general indicators of grain quality.
G92-1076 Canola Production, Lenis Alton Nelson, Alan Grombacher
G92-1076 Canola Production, Lenis Alton Nelson, Alan Grombacher
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Canola, which produces a vegetable oil low in saturated fat, has potential for becoming an alternative crop for Nebraska agriculture. Canola produces an oil that has the lowest saturated fat content of any vegetable oil. Today, there is an increasing demand for this oil by diet-conscious consumers. In 1985, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recognized rapeseed and canola as two different species, based on their content and uses. Rapeseed oil is used in industry, while canola oil is used for human consumption. High erucic acid rapeseed (HEAR) oil contains 22-60 percent erucic acid, while low erucic acid rapeseed …

G92-1121 Winter Deicing Agents For The Homeowner, Jay Fitzgerald, Donald E. Janssen
G92-1121 Winter Deicing Agents For The Homeowner, Jay Fitzgerald, Donald E. Janssen
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Information on deicers and how they affect plants is covered here.
Slick sidewalks and roads are hazardous. Removing compacted snow and ice with shovels or snow blowers is not always an easy task. Deicers can help by "undercutting," or loosening the snow or ice because they lower the freezing point of water.
Do not use deicers to completely melt snow or ice, but to make their removal easier. Deicers melt down through the ice or snow to the hard surface, then spread out underneath. This undercuts and loosens the snow so shoveling and plowing can be done.

G92-1103 White Mold Of Dry Beans, James R. Steadman, Howard F. Schwartz, Eric D. Kerr
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
White mold symptoms, infection and control are covered here.
One of the most important diseases affecting dry beans in western Nebraska and Colorado is white mold caused by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. In a recent year, losses from this disease averaged as high as 20 percent, with a few individual field losses exceeding 65 percent.
G92-1120 Fire Blight Of Apple, Pear And Woody Ornamentals, John E. Watkins
G92-1120 Fire Blight Of Apple, Pear And Woody Ornamentals, John E. Watkins
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide tells how fire blight is spread among apple, pear and woody ornamentals. It describes the disease cycle and offers advice for treatment and protection.
Fire blight, caused by Erwinia amylovora, is the oldest, most serious bacterial disease of apple and pear. It was first reported in the late 18th century in the Hudson River Valley in New York. The disease is indigenous to North America, and probably occurred on native American plants such as crabapple, hawthorn and mountain ash and then spread to susceptible cultivated apples, pears and woody ornamentals planted by the early American pioneers. As …
G92-1080 Farmstead Safety Evaluation Guide, Gerald R. Bodman
G92-1080 Farmstead Safety Evaluation Guide, Gerald R. Bodman
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Safe working conditions for personnel and safe, healthful living conditions for animals are critical requirements in the design of all farmsteads.
All farmsteads periodically should be evaluated for potential hazards and conditions that could lead to injury, death, or premature building failure or loss. Some hazards develop with time and are easily overlooked. Others are the result of poor planning or just being "too busy." To assess the safety of your farmstead and buildings, answer the following questions. Any question that cannot be answered with a firm "yes" indicates a need for corrective action.
G92-1096 Understand Your Soil Test: Ph-Excess Lime-Lime Needs, K.D. Frank, Delno Knudsen
G92-1096 Understand Your Soil Test: Ph-Excess Lime-Lime Needs, K.D. Frank, Delno Knudsen
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The relationships among pH, soil type, and lime requirements are explained.
Accurate soil tests can be an excellent management tool. Misuse of soil tests leads to increased production costs, yield losses, or both. The elements required by plants for proper growth have been determined by experimentation. Experience has shown that soils across Nebraska differ greatly in their capacity to supply these elements. The amount of each element supplied by a soil depends on several factors. Two important ones are: (1) the type of material from which the soil was formed, and (2) the treatment the soil has received since being …
