Leasing And Valuing Swine Facilities, Bruce B. Johnson, Allen Prosch, Ron Christensen
Leasing And Valuing Swine Facilities, Bruce B. Johnson, Allen Prosch, Ron Christensen
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide provides an overview of factors to consider when setting rent levels or placing appropriate market value on swine facilities when a purchase is being considered or negotiated.
Assigning appropriate rents and values to farm buildings has always been challenging because of the diversity of building inventories, as well as the selective demand for these structures. For swine facilities, the challenge has even grown as buildings have become increasingly specialized in efforts to improve animal performance.
When evaluating a swine facility for leasing or valuation, several things must be considered, such as environmental and zoning compliance, location, site, condition …

Nf01-476 Creating A Strong: Family How To Be Nice, John Defrain
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
When we're upset about something, which is inevitable in life, the path of least resistance is to get angry and lash out at other people. Loved ones, amazingly, take the brunt of all this anger because if we were to act this way at work or school, we would soon be shown the door.Under stress we regress, as the saying goes. We regress to the vicious and foolish behavior we learned on the playground, among other places, when we were young children. I must admit that when I see adults act in ways that would make a well-behaved 7-year-old shudder, …

Rangelands account for about half of Nebraska's total land area or about 24 million acres. Much of these expansive natural resource areas are in the semi-arid climatic region of Nebraska where grazing management decisions have a profound effect on ranch survival.
The educational object of this circular is to explain management practices that optimize the sustainability of rangeland-based enterprises. Additionally a decision-support tool is provided for selecting grazing systems best suited to livestock production and natural resource management objectives.

This NebGuide describes beaver biology and behavior and characterizes the types of damage caused by them. It suggests control methods and equipment and describes legal restrictions.
The beaver (Castor canadensis) is the largest rodent in North America. Adults weigh about 40 pounds and have been known to weigh up to 60 pounds or more. Beavers are admired for being industrious, curious, and social. Historically, both the American beaver and the European beaver (Castor fiber) were overharvested to near extinction. In recent decades, however, both species have been rapidly increasing.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes a rapid and efficient technique for detecting and assessing varroa mite infestations. It uses powdered sugar to dislodge mites from bees.
The varroa mite was first discovered in the United States in 1987. Globally, it is the most important pest of honey bees and it has caused extensive losses in feral and managed colonies. Once introduced, varroa mites have never been eradicated from any country or region, and beekeepers must adopt an integrated pest management strategy to protect their colonies. Early detection and assessment of infestation levels are important components of a varroa management plan. Since varroa …

Nf01-474 Creating A Strong Family: The Greatest Gift A Father Can Give His Children, John Defrain
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Though as a culture we may have gotten better at encouraging fathers to be good fathers, the fact remains that mothers, in general, still spend more time with children and have more responsibility for their day-to-day care. Mothers know this. Fathers know this. Many families, including my own, do not particularly like how our society is designed in this regard. The game is still rigged toward mothers being more responsible for kids, and fathers having more responsibility for earning money, though the game is changing ever so slowly. This is sad to me, because the joy of being with children …
