Ec92-125 On-Farm Trials For Farmers Using The Randomized Complete Block Design, Phil Rzewnicki
Ec92-125 On-Farm Trials For Farmers Using The Randomized Complete Block Design, Phil Rzewnicki
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Farmers are interested in evaluating new agricultural practices on their own farms. To produce results credible to themselves, other farmers, and researchers, a systematic method of testing should be used. If a comparison of agricultural practices results in one practice yielding a few more bushels of crop than another, this does not necessarily mean it is a more valuable practice. The difference may simply be due to field variation or chance.
This circular discusses the on-farm trials and incorporation of the two basic requirements in designing experiments: randomization and replication.
G92-1119 Rust Diseases Of Turfgrass, John E. Watkins, Roch E. Gaussoin
G92-1119 Rust Diseases Of Turfgrass, John E. Watkins, Roch E. Gaussoin
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes the various rust diseases common to Nebraska and offers suggestions for maintaining a vigorous and disease-resistant lawn.
Rust diseases occur on all turfgrasses; however, most rust problems occur on Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, tall fescue and zoysia. In the cool-temperate regions of North America, cool season turfgrasses may suffer severe injury late in summer by attack from one of the rust pathogens. In addition, rust-weakened plants are much more susceptible to injury from environmental stresses and to attack by other turfgrass pathogens.
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.

G92-1109 Musk Thistle, Robert Wilson, Fred Roeth, Alex Martin
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The history, identification and chemical, mechanical and cultural control of musk thistle are discussed. Musk thistle is a major problem for many Midwestern landowners. It reduces forage yields by robbing moisture and plant food from palatable grasses. Livestock refuse to enter heavily infested areas and will not graze close to the spiny plants. Since its emergence as a serious weed problem in the late 1940s, musk thistle has invaded thousands of acres of Nebraska pastureland and even occurs in some cultivated fields. It has moved from the Kansas border to the South Dakota border and as far west as Colorado …

Rp92-217 #2 Producer Marketing Mangement: Deferred Pricing Alternatives For Grain, Darrel Good
Rp92-217 #2 Producer Marketing Mangement: Deferred Pricing Alternatives For Grain, Darrel Good
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Grain producers must make marketing decisions every day. First they must decide whether to price or hold grain. If they decide to price grain, they must then choose the most appropriate method of pricing: cash sale, forward contract, or hedging. If they decide to hold grain (not to price), they must choose the most appropriate method of retaining ownership.
This fact sheet presents some guidelines to help producers choose the least costly method of owning grain or speculating on price level changes.
Rp92-217 No. 19 Cost Of Grain Storage, J. William Uhrig
Rp92-217 No. 19 Cost Of Grain Storage, J. William Uhrig
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Grain marketing decisions are among the toughest the farm owner/operator or manager must make. Grain producers store grain to speculate on receiving higher prices, earn a return above storage costs, or to take advantage of government programs. Prices must increase enough to cover the additional costs, or forward contract prices must exceed current prices by more than the cost of storage in order to justify forward pricing. The gain in prices received can come from both changes in price level and changes in basis.
This research publication discusses all the areas of the cost of grain storage.
