G83-684 Row Crop Planters: Equipment Adjustments And Performance In Conservation Tillage, Elbert C. Dickey, Paul J. Jasa
G83-684 Row Crop Planters: Equipment Adjustments And Performance In Conservation Tillage, Elbert C. Dickey, Paul J. Jasa
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses planters used in conservation tillage systems and gives recommendations for improving planter performance.
The planter's primary job is to place seed where it will germinate and grow. Proper seed spacing minimizes competition for the light, nutrients and soil moisture essential for crop growth.
Several factors influence planter performance, including adjustments and correct operation. Field conditions also are important.
Traditionally, producers used tillage equipment that created a well-tilled, residue-free seedbed for planting. Many producers now are adopting conservation tillage methods that have fewer tillage operations and leave a protective residue cover on the soil surface.

G83-659 Irrigating Onions, C. Dean Yonts, David Nuland, Paul Fischbach
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide outlines the onion's water requirements as it develops through the season and how to best meet them to assure marketable grade and optimum yield.
Growing an irrigationd crop of onions is a very involved process. This is because the onion is a shallow rooted biennial that depends on daylength and temperature for the development of the marketable product—the bulb.
G83-675 Yield Grades And Quality Grades For Lamb Carcasses, Dennis E. Burson, Ted Doane
G83-675 Yield Grades And Quality Grades For Lamb Carcasses, Dennis E. Burson, Ted Doane
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses yield and quality grades for lamb carcasses and their importance to producers.
Lamb carcass grades when applied by a USDA meat grader must consist of a yield grade and a quality grade. Yield grades estimate the percentage of closely trimmed, boneless retail cuts from the leg, loin, rib and shoulder. Quality grades indicate the palatability or eating characteristics of lamb.
Evaluating lamb carcasses for USDA Yield and Quality Grades recognizes carcasses with traits that influence live animal and carcass value, and identifies breeding animals that produce lambs of superior carcass merit.

Heg83-177 Budgeting Systems When There Are Two Earners In The Household, Kathleen Prochaska-Cue
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This publication describes various ways of managing the income of two earners in the same household, including the advantages and disadvantages of each.
Two earners in the household pose additional problems for the money management system. Should each person have money that is not accountable to the other -- money that is one's own? How are the bills to be paid? Should they be divided down the middle with each spouse taking responsibility for separate items (one gets the mortgage, the other the car payment), or is one partner responsible for all the basics and the other for the frills? …

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Site Preparation
Proper site preparation is essential to your tree planting operation, and varies with the different climates and soil types.
Chemical Control: On sandy soils, rough terrain, or other highly erodible sites, tillage is not recommended. Chemical weed and/or grass killers may be applied to the site in the fall or before planting in the spring.
Summer Fallow: This practice is recommended on heavy soil in western Nebraska to conserve soil moisture. This may be accomplished with the aid of occasional disking, subsurface tillage, or chemicals to control weeds.
Fall Tillage: In the eastern areas of the state fall …
G82-601 Using Phosphorus Fertilizers Effectively, E.J. Penas, D.H. Sander
G82-601 Using Phosphorus Fertilizers Effectively, E.J. Penas, D.H. Sander
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
For most effective use of phosphorus, the fertilizer needs to be placed to ensure quick contact by growing roots and minimal contact with the soil.
Phosphorus (P) fertilizers are second only to nitrogen fertilizers in importance for growing crops in Nebraska. However, the principles affecting efficient phosphorus use are totally different. Nitrogen is a mobile nutrient both inside the plant and in the soil, while phosphorus moves very little in the soil. In addition, total plant phosphorus requirements are much lower than those of nitrogen. Plant leaves commonly contain ten times more nitrogen than phosphorus. However, phosphorus is concentrated in …
G82-596 Use And Management Of Micronutrient Fertilizers In Nebraska, George W. Rehm, E.J. Penas
G82-596 Use And Management Of Micronutrient Fertilizers In Nebraska, George W. Rehm, E.J. Penas
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide focuses on the use of the micronutrients zinc and iron.
Of the 16 elements known to be essential for plant growth, 7 are used in very small amounts and are classified as micronutrients. These are zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), boron (B), molybdenum (Mo) and chlorine (Cl).
Micronutrients are supplied to plants from two sources: 1) soil minerals and 2) organic matter. They are released as the soil minerals break down over a period of time by weathering. The major portion of the micronutrients made available to plants, however, probably comes from the breakdown (mineralization) …
G82-587 Understanding Potassium For Crop Production In Nebraska, George W. Rehm
G82-587 Understanding Potassium For Crop Production In Nebraska, George W. Rehm
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses the availability of and the need for potassium in Nebraska soils
Potassium (K) is an essential nutrient absorbed from soils by crops in relatively large amounts. Therefore, it is classified as a major nutrient. Although large amounts are absorbed, potassium is not necessarily needed in a fertilizer program. Numerous studies conducted with all major crops have definitely shown that adding potassium to a fertilizer program does not lead to yield increases on the large majority of soils in Nebraska.

G82-626 Air Properties: Temperature And Relative Humidity, David P. Shelton, Gerald R. Bodman
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes how to use a simplified psychrometric chart to better understand the relationships between air temperature and relative humidity.
Air is a vital component of our everyday lives. Air properties are important whether we are ventilating a livestock housing unit, drying grain, or determining relative humidity in the home. In a livestock building, temperature, moisture, odors, and toxic or noxious gases must be controlled. Since the moisture holding capacity of air increases with increasing temperature, heat may be added in grain drying to aid in removing moisture from the grain kernel. In the home, moisture can either be …

G81-578 Fuel Use For Field Operations, Leonard L. Bashford, David P. Shelton
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses common grazing problems and offers solutions.
The amount of fuel used for field operations depends on many factors, including correct tractor-implement matching, proper tractor ballasting, condition of the tractor and implements, depth of tillage, idle time, and soil type and condition. The tillage practices used for a particular crop will be a major factor in the fuel needed for a complete production cycle.
Good estimates of fuel requirements are necessary for planning purposes. If fuel use records are available and reflect the soil conditions and management practice for a particular farmstead, they should be used. However, if …

G81-538 Brooding And Rearing The Home Meat Flock, Earl W. Gleaves
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses raising chickens for meat.
The objective of owning and raising a home flock should be to satisfy needs other than income production. For example, many people prefer fryer-type chickens of heavier weights to the lighter weight ranges available in many stores. Product freshness is the objective of some home flock owners; others are interested in the small flock in much the same way that some people are interested in a garden. A well-managed home flock can be a good source of fresh poultry meat. However, home flock producers should not plan to raise more birds than their …

G80-510 Sagebrush Control, Robert G. Wilson, Patrick E. Reece
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Sagebrush is an all encompassing term commonly used to describe Artemisia species found on range and pasture lands in Nebraska. The dominant woody sagebrush species found in western Nebraska are sand sagebrush, fringed sagebrush, green sagewort, and big sagebrush. These species vary in appearance, distribution and control recommendations. All four species are perennials, have deep extensive root systems and flower in the latter part of the summer. The leaves of sagebrush have a strong odor as a result of camphor like compounds. Palatability and digestibility of sagebrush species found in Nebraska tend to be poor because of high volatile oil …
