We developed a comprehensive assessment plan and tested the curriculum to determine whether hands-on outdoor recreation events promote knowledge, attitudes, and performance among at-risk urban children. Knowledge, attitude, and performance assessments were developed, refined and conducted through various stages based on cultural and language barriers as well a variety of age groups participating within the events. Findings revealed that knowledge, attitudes, and performance increased substantially as a result of participating in the outdoor recreation events. We conclude that the implementation and assessment of the program is strong. We also make several recommendations for future programs.

G05-1587 Understandng Effective Fiber In Rations For Dairy Cattle, Paul J. Kononoff
G05-1587 Understandng Effective Fiber In Rations For Dairy Cattle, Paul J. Kononoff
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Fiber type, quality and length are key to herd health and production.
Fiber is a key component in dairy rations. When nutritionists are faced with herd challenges such as low milkfat tests, foot problems, or low feed conversions, ration fiber often is evaluated. Effective fiber depends on the type and amount of forages and nonforage fiber sources being fed, the particle size of those forages and the amount of available nonfiberous carbohydrates included in the diet.
G05-1570 How To Spray A Field To Prevent Overlap And Reduce Drift Injury, Robert N. Klein
G05-1570 How To Spray A Field To Prevent Overlap And Reduce Drift Injury, Robert N. Klein
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Proper spraying techniques for various situations are outlined and illustrated. A table shows how changing the sprayer speed can affect pressure on sprayers with rate controllers. The method used to spray a field can affect pest control and potential crop injury to the targeted crop and adjacent crops. Start spraying a field on the side where the drift potential is greatest when wind speeds are low or blowing away from the susceptible area. Sometimes an applicator may need to return to a site later to spray when weather conditions are more favorable and would not cause spray drift. These factors …

Did you know?
• Infants are mastering language simply by listening to us talk.
• Babies begin learning about language in the first months of life. They can hear the difference between all the consonants and vowels used in any language.
• By the age of 6 months, infants have trained their ears to the sounds of their native language and they have learned to distinguish these sounds before actually learning words.
Baby talk, or "Parentese," makes it easier for the baby to learn a language because the sounds are greatly exaggerated.
This NebFact discusses how to communicate with children, …
Ec05-473 Functional Foods, Theresa Herring, Julie A. Albrecht
Ec05-473 Functional Foods, Theresa Herring, Julie A. Albrecht
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Just as consumers grew weary of hearing about the bombardment of foods that contain unhealthy, disease-causing components, researchers and nutrition educators have shifted their focus to the study and promotion of functional foods. Foods that have physiologically active components, which can improve one's health and prevent disease beyond that of one's essential daily nutritional requirements, are called functional foods.
This Extension Circular defines functional foods. It reviews food label rules for functional foods, their physiologically active components, and their specific health benefits. Examples are provided of the advantages of whole food consumption compared to one isolated component. Key definitions are …
Nf05-624 Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Jennifer Larsen, Linda S. Boeckner
Nf05-624 Omega-3 Fatty Acids, Jennifer Larsen, Linda S. Boeckner
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Fats in our food are categorized according to the predominant fatty acid that is present. Typically fats are categorized as saturafed fatty acids or unsaturated fatty acids. Some examples of foods that are high in saturated fats are butter and lard. These fats are solid at room temperature. Fats that are high in unsaturated fatty acids are liquid at room temperature. Examples are vegetable oils such as canola, corn, olive or soybean.
This NebFacts discusses the benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids, supplements, how much is enough and the cautions on eating certain fish.

The Challenge Of Environmental Protection, Jennifer Mattei
Biology Faculty Publications
Connecticut is in the midst of a demographic transition to a period of lower population growth. These demographic changes will help check the pressures exerted on the state's natural resources by population growth. Water, air, soil, energy sources, food, fisheries, forests, and biodiversity are common pool resources upon which we depend in ways that transcend political boundaries. Those governing Connecticut should help turn the state into a model of how to manage natural resources by halting forest fragmentation, reducing pollution, and promoting environmental science education.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Within the last 20 years, several meat-borne pathogenic microorganisms have emerged in the United States, causing numerous outbreaks of disease and death, as well as drastic economical losses.
Guidelines in this NebGuide are suggested for controlling temperature of meat and meat products in fabrication rooms so as to prevent detrimental growth of meat-borne pathogens.
G05-1563 Manure Incorporation And Crop Residue Cover: Part I: Reduction Of Cover, David P. Shelton
G05-1563 Manure Incorporation And Crop Residue Cover: Part I: Reduction Of Cover, David P. Shelton
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Residue cover reduction caused by soil-engaging components typically used with tank spreaders and towed hose systems to apply liquid or slurry manure.
Manure incorporation represents a compromise between best management practices for soil erosion control and manure management. Manure should be incorporated into the soil for odor control, increased availability of nutrients, and control of potential manure runoff; however, disturbing the soil and crop residue may increase soil erosion and water runoff. This NebGuide summarizes the results of a field study to determine the influences on crop residue cover of common equipment used to simultaneously apply and incorporate manure.

G05-1557 Planning Your Riparian Buffer: Design And Plant Selection, Amanda Fox, Thomas G. Franti, Scott J. Josiah, Mike Kucera
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Learn how to plan and design a riparian buffer and select appropriate tree and grass species.
Conservation buffers are planted for environmental, aesthetic, recreational, and economic reasons. Grass filter strips, grassed waterways, field borders, and field windbreaks are examples of conservation buffers. A conservation buffer also may be a streamside or riparian forest buffer and include trees, shrubs, and grasses. Riparian buffers are a best management practice to protect stream water quality, reduce streambank erosion, and provide wildlife habitat. Buffers also can provide income through payments from federal, state and local cost-share programs or through production and sale of specialty …

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The Nebraska Panhandle presents many unique opportunities for agricultural producers interested in alternative crops. Traditional crops grown in the area are sugarbeets, dry edible beans, alfalfa hay, and corn on irrigated acres and wheat on dryland acres. The goal of this publication is to provide producers with information that can be used to estimate the production costs for alternative crops.
