Results Of The Second High Protein-High Lysine Wheat Observation Nursery Grown In 1976, S. L. Kuhr, K. D. Wilhelmi, V. A. Johnson, P. J. Mattern
Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station
This is the second report of results from a high protein-high lysine (HP-HL) observation nursery organized in 1974 by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station and the Science and Education Administration, U. S. Department of Agriculture, under a contract with the Agency for International Development, U. S. Department of State. Primary objectives of this nursery are to: (1) Systematically provide breeders and cooperators with superior genetic germplasm for elevated levels of protein and/or lysine. (2) Test the degree of expression of the high protein and high lysine traits in a diverse array of environments. Funding from USAID has permitted the Nebraska …

G80-505 Economics Of Energy Used In Fallow Systems For Winter Wheat-Fallow Rotation, Robert E.J. Retzlaff, Vernon L. Hofman
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses the economic advantages of using a fallow system with winter wheat.
In 1979, Americans watched gasoline, diesel, and other petroleum products dramatically increase in price. The amount of imported crude oil increased and the demand continued strong despite higher prices. Conservation of energy, either forced or voluntary, seems to be one of the key solutions to the energy crisis.

The growth and control of Canada thistle is covered here.
Canada thistle plant
Canada thistle [Cirsium arvense (L) Scop.] is a native of Eurasia and was probably introduced to America around 1750. Since that time it has spread throughout the northern part of the United States. Canada thistle is estimated to infest 800,000 acres in northern and western Nebraska.
A perennial that reproduces from seed and by an extensive root system, Canada thistle is dioecious, with the male and female flowers on separate plants. For viable seed to be produced, both male and female plants need to be present.
