Effect Of Time Of Cutting On Yield And Botanical Composition Of Prairie Hay In Southeastern Nebraska, Elverne C. Conard, Vincent H. Arthaud

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Approximately three and one-third million acres of native prairie are harvested annually in Nebraska for hay. In the four-year period 1948-1951, the State ranked first in wild hay production with an average yield of more than two and one-quarter million tons per year. This crop is an important natural resource in Nebraska's livestock industry. Studies were initiated in 1945 to determine the effects of time of cutting on the yield and feeding value of prairie hay in southeastern Nebraska. The studies were continued through the summer of 1952 to determine the effects of different cutting treatments on the vigor and …

Good Taste In Dress, Anna Walker

SDSU Extension Circulars

Successful clothes depend on your knowledge and imagination--not your pocketbook. Good taste is the keynote to being well dressed. Since customs and habits of dress vary in different places, it is never possible to lay down hard and fast rules for correct dress.

Prices And Costs For Use In Farm And Ranch Planning, Russell L. Berry

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The prices of most things farmers and ranchers produce will vary widely in future years as they have in the past. It is not possible to reorganize a farm or ranch every time there is a variation in prices. The benefits of a given crop rotation can only be secured after several years. When crop rotations are changed fields and fences may also need to be changed. Buildings may need to be built or remodeled to handle the new crops. Livestock enterprises should be chosen with regard to the crops produced. Since many years are often required to establish profitable …

Farm Price Programs, Kenneth L. Robinson

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

This publication should be useful to farmers and others who want to review the road that agricultural price policy in the United States has traveled in the past and to appraise the effect of such policies. It will also be useful to a person planning and taking part in discussions of farm price policy and programs at meetings of farmers and others interested in American agriculture. In a democracy, farmers and agricultural leaders may expect to be called upon more and more to express their views concerning matters of agricultural policy and national farm programs. The discussion is divided into …

Weather In The Making, Ray F. Pengra

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

The objective of this pamphlet is to present some of the basic atmospheric phenomena that are related to weather. It is hoped that this will give research workers and others interested a general idea of how weather develops in the atmosphere and make possible a more realistic application of available weather data to agricultural research. Data and illustrations from "The Pilot's Weather Handbook" and the 1955 "Yearbook of Agriculture", as well as other government publications, are presented to provide an application of weather factors to agriculture and its problems.
