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.

G74-131 No-Till Corn In Alfalfa Sod, Alex R. Martin, Russell S. Moomaw
G74-131 No-Till Corn In Alfalfa Sod, Alex R. Martin, Russell S. Moomaw
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Nebraska produces about 1,740,000 acres of alfalfa annually. Corn or grain sorghum usually follows alfalfa in the crop rotation. The moldboard plow or chisel plow are commonly used to break up alfalfa sod for corn planting. The plow is a high consumer of energy, requiring about 2.25 gallons of diesel fuel per acre.
Research conducted in Nebraska has been used to develop a system in which the alfalfa is killed with herbicides and corn is planted directly into the sod without tillage. Plowing is eliminated and energy requirements can be reduced to about 1/4 that used in the conventional plow …

Rb32-270 A Seven Year Study Of A Milk Supply, P.A. Downs
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The amount of butter produced by the grain-belt states is evidence that a great many cows are milked by the midwestern farmer. Most of this milk is separated on the farm, the cream is sold, and the skimmilk is fed to hogs and other livestock. As the market for fluid milk has developed, many farmers near the cities have turned to the sale of milk, because it affords a better return for the butterfat sold. Much of the milk produced for sale as fluid milk is produced under practically the same conditions as milk which is produced primarily for the …

Ec31-133 The Management Of Nebraska Soils (Revised March 1936), P.H. Stewart, D.L. Gross
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The agricultural lands of this country are its greatest natural resource. History points out that nations with vast areas of good farm land are most likely to prosper and survive over long periods of time. Local communities, too, prosper and flourish in proportion to the productiveness of the surrounding land. Schools, social life, and business develop best in areas where the land is productive and properly managed and conserved.
Nebraska, in common with other states, has suffered by the depletion of soil fertility. The reduction in acres in legumes and grasses, and the deplation of the organic matter in the …
