This is the twelfth report of results from an International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery (IWWPN) organized in 1968 by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS), U.S. Department of Agriculture, under contract number AID/ta-C-1093 with the U.S. International Development Corporation, Agency for International Development. The Nursery was designed to (1) test the adaptation and stability of winter wheat cultivars in a range of latitudes, daylengths, fertility conditions, water management regimes, and disease complexes; (2) identify superior winter cultivars to serve as recipient genotypes for high protein and high lysine genes; (3) test the degree …

The primary objective of this study was to establish an empirical estimate of the riskiness of various crops in different regions of Nebraska. For this purpose the variate difference method was used to estimate random variability indexes of prices, yields, and net returns for six Nebraska crops (wheat, soybeans, alfalfa, oats, grain sorghum, corn). The period of analysis included 1957-1976 and one county in each of the eight crop reporting districts was analyzed. Where relevant, both dryland and irrigated alternatives were examined. Most business decision-makers accept more risk only under the conditions that the probability of higher returns accompany risky …

Smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss.) is one of the most important cool-season forage grasses in the United States and Canada. Further improvement in this grass by breeding depends on identifying sources of genetic variability for forage yield and quality. Since smooth bromegrass is an introduced species, foreign introductions are an obvious source of genetic variability. This study evaluated 49 smooth bromegrass introductions for forage yield and quality as measured by in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) and protein content and compared them with the cultivar 'Lincoln'. Evaluated in a separate study and reported here were eight meadow bromegrass ( …
