A Map Of Subsistence Agriculture, Ingolf Vogeller
A Map Of Subsistence Agriculture, Ingolf Vogeller
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
ABSTRACT - American commercial agriculture has undergone an implosion: fewer and larger farms have been concentrated in certain productive areas. But subsistence agriculture has not imploded in the same areas and not to the same extent as commercial farming. A map of subsistence agricultural counties demonstrates the widespread importance of this kind of farming in the eastern United States.

The Effects Of Changing Flock Structure On The Amount And Type Of Turn-Off From Sheep Flocks, T Marshall
The Effects Of Changing Flock Structure On The Amount And Type Of Turn-Off From Sheep Flocks, T Marshall
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
In the past the proportion of mated ewes in Western Australia's sheep flocks carried through summer has averaged about 40 per cent and sheep meat production has been basically lamb and old mutton.
If the proportion of mated ewes was lifted to an average of around 50 per cent and wethers were sold off at an average of about 2 1\ 2 years old, there would be substantial increases in sheep meat production. The extra meat produced would be young sheep meat ideally suited for table meats for consumers in W.A. and in many overseas countries.
As a result of …
Why New Land Farmers Need A Super Bounty, Edgar Noel Fitzpatrick
Why New Land Farmers Need A Super Bounty, Edgar Noel Fitzpatrick
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Development of farming land in Western A ustralia's agricultural areas requires the application of large amounts of superphosphate. Since 1963, the Phosphate Fertiliser Bounty applied to superphosphate manufacture has ensured that this superphosphate has been available to farmers at reasonable cost and has helped to make new land development economically worth while.
Originally applied as an incentive to agricultural development, the bounty is now to be withdrawn and it is feared that the resulting increase in the cost of superphosphate will retard development of many West Australian farms and reduce many farm incomes to an unsatisfactory level.
These effects will …
Water Economy For Lawns And Gardens, K S. Cole
Water Economy For Lawns And Gardens, K S. Cole
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Much of the summer water consumption occurs because it is widely believed that heavy summer watering is necessary. Householders often mistakenly water heavily to keep their gardens green and growing. Many may not realise that gardens can be kept vigorous and healthy with much less water than is commonly applied.
G74-157 Foot Rot, Don Hudson
G74-157 Foot Rot, Don Hudson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Foot rot (necrotic pododermatitis, foul foot) can be a very annoying problem. Once started in a herd and "seeded" in the soil, it may persist for quite a long time. Although the incidence of foot rot may not be high at any one time, it requires constant observation to prevent serious economic loss.
The bacterium Fusobacterium necrophorum has been reported to cause foot rot. However, researchers have not been able to reproduce typical foot rot lesions with this organism.
Recent research at the University of Missouri indicates that a combination of Fusobacterium necrophorum and Bacteroides melaninogenicus are the predominant bacteria …

G74-100 Feeding High Moisture Corn, Terry L. Mader, Paul Q. Guyer, Rick Stock
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
In recent years the use of high moisture grain has become more popular due to the increased costs of handling and dry feed grains. For cattle feeders in particular, storing grains as high moisture is one practice that can improve their competitive position and reduce costs. Using high moisture grains allows greater opportunity to design a system that will minimize harvest, storage and feed processing costs.
Grains such as sorghum and wheat have been stored as high moisture, but corn is the principal high moisture grain stored. High moisture corn can be processed and stored as whole shelled corn, ground …
G74-136 Grain Sorghum Processing For Beef Cattle, Rick Stock, Terry L. Mader
G74-136 Grain Sorghum Processing For Beef Cattle, Rick Stock, Terry L. Mader
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses the feeding value of grain sorghum relative to corn and various grain processing methods for grain sorghum.
It has been widely recognized that grain sorghum (milo) must be processed to be efficiently used by finishing cattle. Grain sorghum shows more improved utilization from processing than corn, wheat and barley. Dry ground or rolled grain sorghum has a relative feeding value of 85% to 95% (avg 90%) of dry rolled corn. Processing grain sorghum by more sophisticated methods (early harvesting, steam-flaking, etc.) greatly enhances its feeding value.
Chemical composition suggests that there should be less difference in the …
G74-189 Growing Dahlias, Don Steinegger, John E. Watkins, Frederick P. Baxendale
G74-189 Growing Dahlias, Don Steinegger, John E. Watkins, Frederick P. Baxendale
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Propagation, culture, diseases, and insects of dahlias are covered here.
The dahlia is a versatile flowering plant, providing a wide array of sizes, forms and colors. Flowers range from half-inch pompons to giants. Flower forms vary from daisy-shaped singles to fully double types with intermediate forms, such as anemone.
Dahlia cultivars which flower the first year from seed are referred to as annuals. Many of these annuals form tuberous roots the first year. These tuberous roots can be saved for use next year.
G74-171 Summer Annual Forage Grasses (Revised January 1986), Bruce Anderson, Paul Guyer
G74-171 Summer Annual Forage Grasses (Revised January 1986), Bruce Anderson, Paul Guyer
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses production practices, methods of use, and precautions for using summer annual grasses.
Summer annual grasses are used for summer pasture, green chop, hay, silage, and winter pasture. They are often used as sources of emergency forage. In addition, residues of summer annuals make an excellent seedbed mulch for new stands of perennial grass, particularly on sands.
The summer annual grasses most often used for forage in Nebraska are sudangrass, hybrid sudangrass, sorghum-sudangrass hybrids, and forage sorghums. Foxtail millet and pearl millet are used occasionally. Each of these grasses has unique growth characteristics that require proper management for …
G74-174 Fertilizer Suggestions For Corn (Revised November 2003), Charles A. Shapiro, Richard B. Ferguson, Achim R. Dobermann, Charles S. Wortmann
G74-174 Fertilizer Suggestions For Corn (Revised November 2003), Charles A. Shapiro, Richard B. Ferguson, Achim R. Dobermann, Charles S. Wortmann
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Fertilizer nutrient requirements for corn are based on expected yield and nutrient levels in the soil. Crop production in Nebraska typically requires applying nitrogen to supplement that available in the soil. Phosphorus is the second most likely nutrient to be deficient in the soil for good corn yields.

G74-142 Harvesting And Preserving Hay Crop Silage, Rick Grant, Rick Stock
G74-142 Harvesting And Preserving Hay Crop Silage, Rick Grant, Rick Stock
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes principles of successful hay crop harvest, silage preservation, management techniques to obtain high quality hay crop silage, and proper use of silage storage facilities.
Most hay (legume and grass) crops can be ensiled, or made into silage, successfully. For best feeding value and preservation, consider the special requirements for ensiling each crop.
Hays to be ensiled should be selected on the basis of economics. Which are the most profitable for supplying nutrients? For example, legumes have a relatively higher value for dairy herds than for beef finishing operations because of dairy cows' higher requirement for protein.

G74-165 Understand Your Soil Test: Calcium, Magnesium, Boron, Copper, Chlorine, Molybdenum, Delno Knudsen, K.D. Frank
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
It is possible to analyze soil samples for any of the 13 essential elements which plants obtain from the soil. This does not mean that the results obtained can be used to predict adequacy or deficiency for plant growth.
The value obtained from any chemical procedure used to determine each element must be shown to be related to (1) crop response from application of that element (correlation) and (2) the soil test level at which response occurs (calibration). Crop response is usually measured as yield, but may also be a quality factor. Field plot and greenhouse research are used to …
G74-121 Sandbur Control In Field Corn (Revised January 1999), Gail A. Wicks, Robert G. Wilson Jr.
G74-121 Sandbur Control In Field Corn (Revised January 1999), Gail A. Wicks, Robert G. Wilson Jr.
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Sandbur can be a major weed problem in cornfields if not properly controlled. This NebGuide discusses mechanical and chemical alternatives for controlling sandbur.
Sandbur is a problem weed on coarse to fine-textured soil. The North Platte Valley, southwest and west central Nebraska, and the Sandhills are areas in the state where sandbur is a major weed problem in corn. Sandbur seldom becomes a primary weed problem in eastern Nebraska. Both field (Cenchrus pauciflorus Benth.) and longspine [Cenchrus longispinus (Hack.) Fern.] sandbur grow in Nebraska.
G74-98 Buying A Center Pivot, John W. Addink
G74-98 Buying A Center Pivot, John W. Addink
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
A center-pivot sprinkler system is a medium cost, low labor irrigation method. A few of these systems have been high cost, high labor irrigation methods. Consideration of a few details in the purchase of the system can help prevent the high cost and/or high labor.
Many different types of systems are available today. Consideration must be given to soil texture and slope of the field to be irrigated with the center-pivot. This publication covers what to look for when purchasing a center-pivot sprinkler system.

G74-117 Alfalfa In Swine Diets (Revised November 1988), Duane Reese, D. Murray Danielson
G74-117 Alfalfa In Swine Diets (Revised November 1988), Duane Reese, D. Murray Danielson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Nebraska ranks first in dehydrated alfalfa meal and seventh in alfalfa hay production in the United States, with production in all counties of the state. With this availability of alfalfa, its use in swine diets should be considered.
The performance and economic considerations of alfalfa in swine diets are detailed here, and information on mixing diets is provided.
G74-149 Bloat Prevention And Treatment (Revised July 1996), Dale Grotelueschen, Richard J. Rasby, Don Hudson, Bruce Anderson
G74-149 Bloat Prevention And Treatment (Revised July 1996), Dale Grotelueschen, Richard J. Rasby, Don Hudson, Bruce Anderson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Bloat is a form of indigestion marked by an excessive accumulation of gas in the rumen. Immediately after cattle consume a meal, the digestive process creates gases in the rumen. Most of the gases are eliminated by eructation (belching). Any interruption of this normal gas elimination results in gas accumulation or bloat.
This NebGuide discusses the types of bloat which may occur in cattle and methods to prevent and treat bloat.
G74-125 Oats In Swine Diets (Revised December 1981), Ernest R. Peo, Donald B. Hudman, Mike Brumm
G74-125 Oats In Swine Diets (Revised December 1981), Ernest R. Peo, Donald B. Hudman, Mike Brumm
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Oats are not considered a standard feed grain in swine diets in Nebraska because of the small acreage planted. However, oats can be used by all ages of swine with some limitations. The feeding value of oats is 80 percent that of corn. With proper formulation, limiting the amount of oats in diets will cause no reduction in swine performance. The nutritive content of a feed grain is the primary factor in determining its use. This NebGuide discusses the processing of oats for swine diets, gestation diets, lactating diets, starter diets, and growing-finishing diet.
G74-123 Weed Control In Reduced Tillage Corn (Revised May 1982), Russell Moomaw, Alex Martin, David P. Shelton
G74-123 Weed Control In Reduced Tillage Corn (Revised May 1982), Russell Moomaw, Alex Martin, David P. Shelton
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Weeds compete with corn plants for water, nutrients and light. Historically, the soil has been extensively tilled to prepare a seedbed and to lessen or remove weed competition. This tillage centered around moldboard plowing.
Results of a recent survey indicate that most Nebraska farmers now use some form of reduced tillage, with the moldboard plow being used on only 11 percent of Nebraska's corn acreage. Reduced tillage is used in many forms.
This NebGuide discusses how to control weeds using the different types of tillage systems.
G74-170 Nitrates In Livestock Feeding (Revised July 1996), Richard J. Rasby, Bruce Anderson, Norman Schneider
G74-170 Nitrates In Livestock Feeding (Revised July 1996), Richard J. Rasby, Bruce Anderson, Norman Schneider
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Most forages contain some nitrates. When feeds containing nitrates are consumed by ruminants, nitrates are changed in the rumen to ammonia that is then converted by bacteria in the rumen into microbial protein. Nitrates are not always toxic to animals.
This NebGuide describes signs, causes, prevention and treatment of nitrate poisoning in livestock.

G74-154 Mosquito Control Guide (Revised March 1996), John B. Campbell, David L. Keith, W. Kramer
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Mosquitoes are insects belonging to the order Diptera, the same one as flies. Worldwide there are over 3,000 species of mosquitoes, 150 of which are found in the United States. In Nebraska there are fewer than a dozen important species. Distribution of mosquitoes ranges from the Arctic to the Tropical Rain Forests.
The life cycle, control, and impact of mosquitoes common to Nebraska are discussed.

The annoying bite of the mosquito not only interferes with human work and leisure time but may also transmit encephalitis. Persisent mosquito attacks on catttle can cause weight loss and force cattle out of river pastures.
The life cycle, control, and impact of mosquitoes common in Nebraska are discussed.
G74-190 Geraniums (Pelargonium) (Revised December 2002), Dale T. Lindgren, Kim Todd, Loren J. Giesler
G74-190 Geraniums (Pelargonium) (Revised December 2002), Dale T. Lindgren, Kim Todd, Loren J. Giesler
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Geraniums are a popular indoor and outdoor plant. This NebGuide describes how to care for them, including overwintering and treating for diseases.
There are two different groups of plants known as geraniums. The showy, flowering geraniums, normally grown as indoor and outdoor plants in Nebraska, are members of the genus 'Pelargonium.' They are subtropical in origin and are treated as annuals in Nebraska, since they do not overwinter outdoors.
Members of the genus 'Geranium,' which are winter hardy outdoor plants, are usually called the 'hardy geraniums' or cranebills. They are good additions to the perennial landscape border. Hardy geraniums are …
