Nf00-438 Critical Access Hospitals: An Opportunity For Rural Nebraska, John Roberts, Judy Weber, Mary Ellen Rider
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebFact describes The advantages of living in a rural community are many. Sometimes rural Nebraskans choose this lifestyle, giving up the conveniences of a larger city, to live what they perceive to be a better life. Quality health care, however, is not a convenience; it's a necessity. Because rural hospitals are so unique, they require more flexibility from government regulations and federal policies. This helps them continue to provide access to cost-effective, quality health care services.

Ec00-1759 Nebraska Register Of Champion Trees 2000, Scott J. Josiah
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Nebraska is famous for its sports champions, but how about Champion Trees? While Nebraska is considered a "prairie state," trees have always played a prominent role in the quality of life of Nebraskans. Native trees were used to build the first pioneer homes. They also were used to heat them and protect them from wind.
The Nebraska Champion Tree program identifies and recognizes the largest living specimen of all native and the most common introduced tree species in Nebraska.

Ec00-280 Hiring Dairy Personnel: Making The Process Easier, Jeffrey F. Keown
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Position descriptions are essential. A detailed position, or job, description can help you as an employer identify and eliminate applicants who will not perform well on the job and gives you justifiable grounds for terminating an employee who does not perform the job satisfactorily.
On most dairy farms, employees can be grouped into three categories: herd managers, feeders or outdoor workers, and milkers. This extension circular discusses the description for each category, how to start the hiring process, and questions that may be asked during interviewing and after hiring for a position on the dairy farm.

Ec00-829 Flexible Cash Leasing Of Cropland, Roger Selley, Bruce B. Johnson, H. Douglas Jose, John D. Cole
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Agreeing on a cash rent can be a challenging task. Typically there is considerable uncertainty about what prices and yields will be in the upcoming year, and anticipating revenues is further complicated with the uncertainty of farm program payments, particularly in low income years when Congress may appropriate unexpected assistance. Attempting to determine a cash rent to apply for more than one year adds to the challenge. Also, adjustments to rent are required over time to remain current with changes in farm program provisions, production costs, productivity and product price levels.
The expected costs and revenues used to establish a …

Ec00-154 Precision Agriculture: Soil Sampling For Precision Agriculture, Richard B. Ferguson, Gary W. Hergert
Ec00-154 Precision Agriculture: Soil Sampling For Precision Agriculture, Richard B. Ferguson, Gary W. Hergert
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
As various aspects of precision agriculture are implemented in Nebraska, some of the most frequent questions asked by producers, fertilizer dealers and crop consultants relate to soil sampling. Should I soil sample this field on a grid? What grid spacing should I use? How often should I sample? Can I use a yield map to tell where to soil sample? All of these are good questions, but often we do not have definitive answers. Site-specific management research conducted in recent years in Nebraska, however, provides some direction on how to implement a soil sampling program for precision agriculture.

G1419 Community Supported Agriculture, Paul Swanson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide explains what community supported agriculture is, how it works and what producers will need to do to participate.
Most Nebraskans have not heard of Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) but the concept is about three decades old in Japan and Europe and about 10-15 years old on the east coast of the United States.
In Japan, because of continued loss of farmland to urbanization and the migration of farmers to the city, a group of women approached local farm families with the idea of direct marketing produce from area farms to urban residents. This created an alternative distribution system …
G1398 Corn Grain Yield And Kernel Weight Stability After Black Layer, Fred W. Roeth, Roger Wesley Elmore
G1398 Corn Grain Yield And Kernel Weight Stability After Black Layer, Fred W. Roeth, Roger Wesley Elmore
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide disputes previous reports that corn yields are reduced after black layer if harvest is delayed.
An October 1995 article in a national farm publication reported that corn dry matter decreased 1 percent for every percent loss in rain moisture as corn dried in the field after black layer (physiological maturity). The dry matter loss reportedly was hybrid specific and possibly due to seed respiration. This observation was based on research conducted at Purdue University with three hybrids over four years. All hybrids tested had significant dry matter losses in three of the four years. A report of similar …

G1374 Escherichia Coli: Testing For Process Control Verification,, Mindy Brashears, Dianne Peters
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide was developed to help processors correctly perform carcass sampling in meat and poultry operations and interpret the results.
In July 1996, the U.S.D.A. published the Final Rule on Pathogen Reduction for meat and poultry processing facilities. Its goal is to reduce the occurrence of food-borne pathogens in meat and poultry products. The rule requires carcass sampling for "generic" E. coli in meat and poultry slaughter operations. The U.S.D.A. has developed guidelines for acceptable, marginal and unacceptable amounts of E. coli to be used by the processor to determine if their process is controlling microbial hazards. If E. coli …

G1408 Grain Molds And Mycotoxins In Corn, Jim Stack
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Storage molds of corn occur in Nebraska annually, potentially lowering grain quality. Mycotoxin contamination of corn occurs periodically, potentially affecting human and animal health. Learn how to identify the different types and their effects. Introduction In Nebraska, grain molds occur every year to varying degrees on field corn, seed corn, white corn, and other specialty corn hybrids. Most grain mold pathogens become associated with the kernel in the field; however, under certain conditions of temperature, relative humidity, and grain moisture, these molds can grow within the colonized kernel and even spread to adjacent kernels during transport and storage. Several issues …
