The COVID-19 pandemic and its related human activity shutdowns provide unique opportunities for biodiversity monitoring through what has been termed the “anthropause” or the “great human confinement experiment.” The pandemic caused immense disruption to human activity in the northeastern United States in the spring of 2020, with notable reductions in traffic levels. These shutdowns coincided with the seasonal migration of adult amphibians, which are typically subject to intense vehicle-impact mortality. Using data collected as part of an annual community science monitoring program in Maine from 2018 to 2021, we examined how amphibian mortality probabilities responded to reductions in traffic during …

G88-874 Management Tips For Round Bale Hay Harvesting, Moving, And Storage, John A. Smith, Robert D. Grisso, Kenneth Von Bargen, Bruce Anderson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses management of hay harvesting with a large round baler. Specific management practices are necessary to maintain hay quality and minimize hay loss during harvest, transportation and storage of large round bales.
Large round bale packaging systems allow one person to harvest, store and feed large quantities of hay for small as well as large acreages. Good management is required to maximize effectiveness. Losses in baling, transportation and storage of large round bales can far exceed the losses of rectangular bales unless the large round bale system is properly managed.

G84-726 Delivering Slaughter Steerse On A Live Cattle Futures Contract, Allen C. Wellman
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses how to estimate when it might be profitable to deliver on a live cattle futures contract and outlines delivery costs and procedures.

A producer who hedges using the futures market normally offsets the futures position by buying back a futures contract and selling the slaughter cattle on the cash market.
However, there are times when it is advantageous to actually deliver on the contract. Actual delivery should be made only when …
