Economic Implications Of Alternative Dry-Bulk Fertilizer Supply Systems: A South-Central Nebraska Case Study, Mary Berglund, Dale G. Anderson

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

This study analyzed the economic implications of alternative patterns of rail service for a case-study area in south-central Nebraska. Special attention was given to effects of branchline abandonments on the delivery system for dry-bulk fertilizer. The study was an extension of an earlier Nebraska track abandonment study which focused only on grain traffic. The purpose of the latest study was to establish the effect of including dry-bulk fertilizer, the major commodity moving into the area by rail, on the earlier results. The addition of fertilizer to the analysis did not appreciably change the outcome of the earlier grain-oriented study.

Eastern Wheatbelt Farm Economics, Peter Eckersley

Soil conservation survey collection

This booklet outlines the current cost structure and profitability of a farm in the eastern wheatbelt. Rather than being figures for an 'average farm', they reflect the use of practices widely recommended by the Department of Agriculture on a typical property in the area. This does not mean the Department of Agriculture believes every farm in the area should be run this way. The best way to run any particular farm depends on the resources and objectives of that farmer.

Effects Of No-Tillage Fallow As Compared To Conventional Tillage In A Wheat-Fallow System, C. R. Fenster, G. A. Peterson

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

The benefits of reducing tillage by use of herbicides for weed control emphasizes why research was started to study a fallow system where all tillage was replaced by herbicides. Wheat planting was then the only soil disturbing operation. Objectives of the research were to compare the effects of no-tillage (chemical), stubble-mulch and plow (bare fallow) systems of fallow on: 1. Grain yield. 2. Grain protein. 3. Residue retention. 4. Soil nitrate-nitrogen accumulation. 5. Soil water accumulations during fallow. Data presented are in the form of a progress report. These experiments will continue.

Costs Per Hour And Per Acre For Machine Operations, Herbert R. Allen

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Machine costs are affected by many variables. Size, age, purchase price, maintenance, fuel type, and hours of use each year are just a few of the many factors involved. They may be different in each individual farm situation. List prices employed in arriving at costs are based upon 1979 price levels. These prices may vary because of geographic location as well as special options available on most machines. However, prices used in this publication are believed by the author to be representative of investment requirements for the machines that are listed.

Results Of The Ninth International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery Grown In 1977, S. L. Kuhr, K. D. Wilhelmi, V. A. Johnson, P. J. Mattern, J. W. Schmidt

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

This is the ninth report of results from an International Winter Wheat Performance Nursery (IWWPN) organized in 1968 by the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station and the Science and Education Administration (SEA), U.S. Department of Agriculture, under a contract with the Agency for International Development, U.S. Department of State. 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 of expression …

Simulation Studies Of Corn Hybrid-Climate Response In Nebraska, R. E. Neild, N. H. Richman

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

Crop development models can be used to determine the expected phenological responses of corn hybrids to different planting dates and locations. The number of days from planting to maturity for a particular hybrid varies considerably between different dates of planting at a single location and between locations at the same planting date.

Danos Causados À Soja Em Diferentes Níveis E Épocas De Infestação, Durante O Crescimento, Maria Helena M. Galileo, Elvis A. Heinrichs

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Foram avaliados os danos causados à soja (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) por Edessa meditabunda (Fabricius, 1794), em diferentes níveis e épocas de infestação, usando-se gaiolas de campo, no ano agrícola 1973/74. Os níveis de dois, quatro, seis e dez insetos por gaiola, atuando do florescimento pleno até iniciar-se o enchimento da semente, bem como as infestações desde o florescimento pleno até o final da maturação fisiológica da semente, não reduziram o rendimento, o número de vagens e de sementes, o número de sementes por vagens e o peso médio da semente. Igualmente, a percentagem de sementes danificadas, em diferentes …

Nebraska Farm Real Estate Market Developments In 1978-79, Bruce Johnson, Ronald J. Hanson

Nebraska Farm Real Estate Reports

Farm real estate values in Nebraska have trended upward for several decades with only a few interruptions. In Nebraska as well as most of the Nation, dramatic increases have occurred within the last six years. The year 1978-79 was no exception.

Data released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture for February 1, 1979 showed a 22 percent increase in the average value of Nebraska farmland from a year earlier. This was certainly in contrast to the 4 percent drop in land values reported for 1977-78.

Results of the second annual Nebraska Farm Real Estate Market Survey conducted by the Department …

A Forecasting-Programming Method For Placement-Sales Decisions For A Beef Feedlot, Franz Schwarz, J. B. Hassler

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

This bulletin reports on a practical multi-period linear programming procedure as a management tool for decisions on placements and marketings for a beef feedlot operating over time under market uncertainty. Although the conclusions were based on application to an individual firm with uniqueness in time and space, the model should be equally appropriate for any firm's production and marketing decisions through time.
