G92-1115 Corn Quality For Industrial Uses, David S. Jackson
G92-1115 Corn Quality For Industrial Uses, David S. Jackson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Characteristics of corn used by industry are discussed here. Publications frequently refer to the term "Corn Quality," but this term means little without being placed in context. The Official U.S. Standards for Grain defines Corn Quality for typical marketing transactions involving grain marketed in the United States. It rates corn quality based on purity, color, the amount of broken and foreign material, total numbers of damaged kernels (including heat-damaged, sprouted, frosted, weather or ground damaged, moldy, diseased), heat-damaged kernels, stones, moisture, and test weight. Official standards, however, are only useful as general indicators of grain quality.

Rp92-217 No. 19 Cost Of Grain Storage, J. William Uhrig
Rp92-217 No. 19 Cost Of Grain Storage, J. William Uhrig
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Grain marketing decisions are among the toughest the farm owner/operator or manager must make. Grain producers store grain to speculate on receiving higher prices, earn a return above storage costs, or to take advantage of government programs. Prices must increase enough to cover the additional costs, or forward contract prices must exceed current prices by more than the cost of storage in order to justify forward pricing. The gain in prices received can come from both changes in price level and changes in basis.
This research publication discusses all the areas of the cost of grain storage.
Mp92-63 Adult Corn Rootworm Management, Lance J. Meinke
Mp92-63 Adult Corn Rootworm Management, Lance J. Meinke
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The western corn rootworm (WCR), and the northern corn rootworm (NCR) are among the most economically important insect pests of field corn in the Unitd States. Crop losses and control expenses attributed to corn rootworms annually cost producers millions of dollars. Corn rootworm larvae can cause substantial injury to corn plants by feeding on corn roots.
This Extension circular covers these two corn rootworms, their population dynamics, management considerations, and research/emerging technologies.

G92-1108 Evaluating Corn Rootworm Soil Insecticide Performance, J. F. Witkowski, Lance J. Meinke, Gary L. Hein, Keith J. Jarvi
G92-1108 Evaluating Corn Rootworm Soil Insecticide Performance, J. F. Witkowski, Lance J. Meinke, Gary L. Hein, Keith J. Jarvi
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This publication describes a technique used to evaluate the relative performance of insecticides in protecting corn roots from feeding damage by corn rootworm larvae.
Insecticides applied at planting or cultivation time are commonly used in continuous corn to protect the roots from damage by western and northern corn rootworms.
Measuring the relative performance of these insecticides in protecting corn roots from rootworm larval damage is important.
