Packer Integration Into Hog Production: Current Status And Likely Impacts Of Increased Vertical Control On Hog Prices And Quantities, Azzeddine M. Azzam, Allen C. Wellman

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

In a survey conducted three years ago by the staff of Pork '88, it was found that some of the major players in the pork industry, like Smithfield foods, for example, have either integrated into hog production or have all the requirements for vertical integration in place. The move toward internalizing the exchange process in the hog/pork sector through vertical integration has raised several questions ranging from its impact on prices and quantities to its impact on individual hog producers. This report is a first step toward studying these issues. Its specific objectives are a) to provide some insights into …

Leaf Chlorosis And Seed Yield Of Dry Beans Grown On High-Ph Calcareous Soil Following Foliar Iron Sprays, H.Z. Zaiter, Dermot P. Coyne, R.B. Clark, Dale T. Lindgren, P.T. Nordquist, Walter W. Stroup, L.A. Pavlish

West Central Research and Extension Center, North Platte

Iron deficiency chlorosis (FeDC) causes extensive reduction in yields of edible dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) grown on high-pH and calcareous soils. Fifteen bean cultivars/lines differing in response to FeDC were grown 2 years (1988 and 1989) on a high-pH (8.0), calcareous (2.3% calcium carbonate equivalent in surface 20 cm), and low-Fe (2.2 mg Fe/kg) Typic Haplustolls silt loam in the field (central Nebraska) to determine the effects of FeDC on seed yield of cultivars/lines sprayed with Fe. A significant interaction (P < 0.05) between cultivars/lines × Fe spray treatment was noted for visual FeDC ratings in 1988 only, and no significant interactions were noted for seed yield either year. Sprayed cultivars/lines generally produced higher yields than unsprayed ones. Overall increases were 47% in 1988 and 41% in 1989. Even though only slight FeDC was noted on some cultivars/lines receiving no Fe spray, seed yields were significantly increased when sprayed with Fe. Some cultivars/lines with moderate or moderately severe FeDC ratings did not show a significant increase in yield when sprayed with Fe, while other cultivars/lines did. Seed yield reductions for the cultivars/ lines per unit of FeDC rating (1 = green to 5 = severe chlorosis) were 915 kg·ha^-1 for unsprayed and 1518 kg·ha^-1 for sprayed plants in 1988 and 344 kg·ha^{-1 …}

Variation In Ornamental Traits Of Dalea Purpurea Vent. (Purple Prairie Clover), Dale T. Lindgren

West Central Research and Extension Center, North Platte

Dalea pulpurea Vent., formerly designated as Petalostemon purpureus (Vent.) Rydb., is a native herbaceous plant found growing in the United States from North Dakota to Texas and from the Mississippi River to the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains (Great Plains Flora Assn., 1986). Dalea purpurea would likely be more accepted as an ornamental plant if additional selections with improved flowering and foliage traits were available.

Two populations of D. purpurea were evaluated for variation in height, stem color, foliage color, flowering time, stem count, and lodging. Population 1 (467 plants) was the cultivar Kaneb (Stock Seed Farm, Murdock, …

Ec92-736 Safety With Center Pivot Irrigation, Rollin D. Schnieder

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Center pivot irrigation has proven to be an effective and low labor method of applying water and agricultural chemicals, such as fertilizers and pesticides, to cropland. It is a young industry in terms of use. Consequently, manufacturers and users of the equipment have an opportunity keep it a safe method of water application. This publication gives pointers on how to use your center pivot irrigation system.

Rp92-217 No. 6 Delivering On A Live Cattle Futures Contract, Al Wellman

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

A producer who hedges with a live cattle futures contract normally will offset the futures position by buying a futures contract and selling the cattle on the cash market. However, there may be a time when it is advantageous to make delivery of the cattle against the contract. In fact, the potential or alternative for delivery is an important necessary contract feature.

Live cattle futures follow a Certificate of Delivery procedure, the details are covered later in this Fact Sheet. Mid-America Exchange delivery units equal one-half the size and have the same delivery conditions as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) …

G92-1099 Estimating Effective Rainfall, Joel E. Cahoon, C. Dean Yonts, Steven R. Melvin

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

How irrigators can estimate effective rainfall, and use that estimate to schedule irrigations properly. Scheduling irrigation based on crop demand (see NebGuide G85-753 Irrigation Scheduling Using Crop Water Use Data, on the checkbook method) requires an estimate of effective precipitation or rainfall. Effective rainfall estimates are also important for planning cropping sequences in both dryland and irrigationd crop production. Effective rainfall is the amount of rainfall stored in the crop root zone. Rainfall that runs off the soil surface or passes through the root zone does not contribute to crop growth and yield. There are two steps to estimating effective …
