G95-1262 Feeding The Beef Cow Herd--Part Ii Managing The Feeding Program, Richard J. Rasby, Ivan G. Rush, Don C. Adams
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Feed costs are the cow/calf producer's greatest expense in producing a weaned calf. To remain competitive, cow/calf operators must use economical feeding programs. It is important to match the available feed resources with the nutrient requirements of the first-calf-heifer and cow. Both over- and underfeeding the cow herd can lead to high production costs.
Nutrient requirements for heifers calving as 2-year-olds and cows calving as 3-year-olds and older are shown in Table I. Beef cows are seldom fed complete rations where ingredients are weighed daily. Generally, most of a cow's ration is forages such as: 1) summer and winter range, …
G95-1238 1995 Usda Sire Evaluation Changes, Jeffrey F. Keown
G95-1238 1995 Usda Sire Evaluation Changes, Jeffrey F. Keown

new Mature Equivalent Factors,
adjustments incorporated for days open,
and the genetic base year changed to 1990.
Let's discuss each change and look at how these changes will effect the 1995 proofs.
Rp489 Impacting Private Sector Policy For Families, Georgia L. Stevens
Rp489 Impacting Private Sector Policy For Families, Georgia L. Stevens
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Who is caring for families(*) these days? Historically, we've had the notion that families needed to be self-sufficient. But, today, dramatic changes in family structure and family member's employment have shifted this thinking. As family policy educator and researcher Shirley Zimmerman (personal communication, April 26, 1993) states,
"increasingly it is recognized that the well-being of families is dependent on the functioning of other societal institutions, such as government and business. For this reason, government is taking an expanding interest in the role of the private sector, namely business and industry, for ensuring the health and economic security of workers and …
G95-1269 Creating Sustainable Families, Herbert G. Lingren
G95-1269 Creating Sustainable Families, Herbert G. Lingren
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses strategies for strengthening interpersonal family relationships.
As the 20th century draws to a close, there has been increasing concern about the family's ability to cope with the multiple stressors and demands placed upon it. Is the family still capable of providing a safe, nurturing, and wholesome place where children can grow up to become competent, productive adults? The current divorce rate claims one in two first marriages. Alcoholism among adults and youth is a major social and family problem. Reports of domestic violence and child abuse have increased 500 - 700 percent in the past 25 years. …
G95-1244 Ventilation Fans: Efficiency And Maintenance, David P. Shelton, Gerald R. Bodman

G95-1242 Ventilation Fans: Performance, Gerald R. Bodman, David P. Shelton
G95-1242 Ventilation Fans: Performance, Gerald R. Bodman, David P. Shelton
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This publication describes how to use fan performance and system resistance data to achieve the desired effect and efficiency of a ventilation system.
Many people perceive ventilation simply as a fan. However, effective ventilation of a livestock building or the aeration of stored grain requires a complete ventilation system.
A simple ventilation system may consist of fans to move the air, inlets or outlets for air distribution, and manual controls. More complex systems may include ducts, perforated floors, automatic controls, and other components. Regardless, all components must be carefully designed, selected, installed, managed, and maintained to achieve satisfactory results.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Proso millet, Panicum miliaceum (L.), is a warm season grass capable of producing seed 60 to 90 days after planting. It has been called millet, hog millet, and yellow hog. It has been grown in many countries of the world including China, the former Soviet Union, Afghanistan, Romania, Turkey, and India.
Historically, proso production in the High Plains has been quite variable, depending on the survival of the winter wheat crop, government programs, and market price.
Proso can be used in several ways. Proso millet grain is used as bird and livestock feed in the United States and for livestock …

Ec95-1873 Cultural Practices That Influence Wheat Diseases, John E. Watkins, Robert N. Klein, Paul C. Hay, Lenis Alton Nelson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The health of a wheatcrop is determined well before the crop is planted. It is often the result of subtle factors in the management history of the field, including varieties, seed quality, seedbed, planting date, residue management and post harvest weed control. Wheat health management practices before the crop is planted must limit, as much as possible, the number of production hazards that must be dealt with after planting. Important diseases influenced by cultural practices include crown and root rot, wheat streak mosaic, soil-borne wheat mosaic, barley yellow dwarf, leaf rust, smut diseases, scab, Cephalosporium stripe and tan spot.
G95-1250 Rust Of Dry Bean, James R. Steadman, H. F. Schwartz, Dale T. Lindgren
G95-1250 Rust Of Dry Bean, James R. Steadman, H. F. Schwartz, Dale T. Lindgren
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The symptoms, sources, spread and management of rust in dry edible beans is discussed in this NebGuide.
Rust is an important disease that affects dry beans in eastern Colorado, western Nebraska and adjacent regions. The disease is caused by the fungus Uromyces appendiculatus which has caused periodic epidemics in this region since the 1950s. Recent yield losses from the disease have exceeded 50 percent in some areas.
G95-1266 Environmental Considerations For Manure Application System Selection, Richard K. Koelsch
G95-1266 Environmental Considerations For Manure Application System Selection, Richard K. Koelsch
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Selection and operation of manure application equipment must consider environmental issues along with materials handling and economic factors.
Land application of livestock manure faces growing scrutiny because of potential surface and groundwater contamination and odor nuisances. Producers must consider features of a manure application system that enhance their ability to use manure's nutrients, and provide ways to minimize nuisances experienced by neighbors during manure application.
G95-1255 Shock Chlorination Of Domestic Water Supplies, William L. Kranz, Delynn Hay, Al Ackerman
G95-1255 Shock Chlorination Of Domestic Water Supplies, William L. Kranz, Delynn Hay, Al Ackerman
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide describes procedures for introducing chlorine to eliminate bacteria in private water systems. Unlike public water supplies that are regularly tested to ensure the water is safe to drink, individuals or families using private water supplies are responsible for testing for contamination. If test results indicate that bacterial contamination is occurring, shock chlorination is the most widely suggested method of treatment. Shock chlorination is the one-time introduction of a strong chlorine solution into the entire water distribution system (well, pump, distribution pipeline, hot water heater, etc.).
