Nf04-606 Deep Fat Frying Turkeys, Carol J. Plate
Nf04-606 Deep Fat Frying Turkeys, Carol J. Plate
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Deep fat frying began in the southern part of the United States and has gradually spread nationwide. Turkeys are the most common food prepared by this method. However, chicken, turkey parts (breasts, wings and thighs), and Cornish game hens may be deep fat fried. Deep fat frying results in a juicy product because the hot fat seals the outside and the skin becomes crisp.
This NebFact talks about the equipment, ingredients, preparation, frying, and safety of deep fat frying turkeys and other poultry.

Rp97-362 File It Easy, Find It Fast: A Home Filing System, Kathleen Prochaska-Cue
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
A home filing system makes important papers readily available when needed. If managed properly, the filing system can get older papers out of the way, making needed records more accessible.
A well-organized filing system for your household can pay big dividends when it comes time to find an important paper you need NOW. There is no one best filing system for everyone; what works for you could be a disaster for someone else. Once set up, a filing system helps you to be a more effective and efficient financial manager and decision maker.

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.

G95-1273 Radial Tractor Tires -- Performance That Counts!, Robert Grisso
G95-1273 Radial Tractor Tires -- Performance That Counts!, Robert Grisso
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Radial tractor tires offer advantages over bias-ply tires that usually result in increased productivity and reduced fuel consumption.
The axle power developed by a tractor is distributed four ways: overcoming rolling resistance, wheel slip losses, tire-soil action and useful drawbar work. The most efficient use of tractor power occurs when the drawbar power is maximized and the first three items are minimized.
Radial tractor tires can improve tractive efficiency and extend tire wear. There are benefits and disadvantages of radial tractor tires compared to bias-ply tires. Radial tractor tires should be considered as original equipment on new tractors and as …

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Techniques are described in this NebGuide for excluding rodents from drains, pipes, feed bunks, bins, and storage containers.
Rodents often travel along pipes, electrical cables, conduits, drains, and other equipment to gain access to buildings used for housing livestock and storing feed. Rodent-proof materials should be installed to prevent access to buildings along these routes. Additional methods to consider in an integrated pest management (IPM) program include sanitation, toxicants, and trapping.

G92-1080 Farmstead Safety Evaluation Guide, Gerald R. Bodman
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Safe working conditions for personnel and safe, healthful living conditions for animals are critical requirements in the design of all farmsteads.
All farmsteads periodically should be evaluated for potential hazards and conditions that could lead to injury, death, or premature building failure or loss. Some hazards develop with time and are easily overlooked. Others are the result of poor planning or just being "too busy." To assess the safety of your farmstead and buildings, answer the following questions. Any question that cannot be answered with a firm "yes" indicates a need for corrective action.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide provides information on beginning beekeeping in Nebraska.
Beekeeping in Nebraska
There are approximately 700 beekeepers in Nebraska operating about 115,000 colonies of bees. Annual honey production in the state ranges from 5 to 11 million pounds depending on weather conditions and available flora. The honey from each area is a unique blend of nectars from the available flora. In a good area under favorable conditions, a properly managed colony can produce 100 pounds or more of honey. The six-year average (1986-1991) for honey production per colony in Nebraska is 75 pounds.
Of far greater importance is the role …

G91-1019 Set Up Of Tillage, Planting And Directed Spray Equipment, Elbert C. Dickey, Robert Grisso, Alex Martin
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses how to set up and operate liquid herbicide application equipment on tillage, planting and directed spray equipment.
Some herbicides require incorporation to obtain consistent weed control. Maintaining residue cover to reduce soil loss on erodible soils makes it necessary to incorporate herbicide while minimizing tillage. This need, combined with many row crop producers' preference for band application to reduce herbicide costs, creates some application challenges.
