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.

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.
