G85-768 Basic Terminology For Understanding Grain Options, Lynn H. Lutgen
G85-768 Basic Terminology For Understanding Grain Options, Lynn H. Lutgen
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This publication, the first of six NebGuides on agricultural grain options, defines many of the terms commonly used in futures trading.
In order to properly understand examples and literature on options trading, it is imperative the reader understand the terminology used in trading grain options. The following list also includes terms commonly used in futures trading. These terms are included because the option is traded on an underlying futures contract position. It is an option on the futures market, not on the physical commodity itself. Therefore, a producer also needs a basic understanding of the futures market.
G84-726 Delivering Slaughter Steerse On A Live Cattle Futures Contract, Allen C. Wellman
G84-726 Delivering Slaughter Steerse On A Live Cattle Futures Contract, Allen C. Wellman
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses how to estimate when it might be profitable to deliver on a live cattle futures contract and outlines delivery costs and procedures.
Although most hedgers do not actually make delivery on a live cattle futures contract, the threat of delivery is an important feature of the futures market. A producer who hedges using the futures market normally offsets the futures position by buying back a futures contract and selling the slaughter cattle on the cash market.
However, there are times when it is advantageous to actually deliver on the contract. Actual delivery should be made only when …
G82-591 Bushel Rents For Nebraska Cropland, H. Douglas Jose
G82-591 Bushel Rents For Nebraska Cropland, H. Douglas Jose
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The purpose of this NebGuide is to help tenants and landowners assess bushel rents and to arrive at agreements which are economically sound and fair to both.
Crop share or cash rent arrangements have been used in most farm leases in Nebraska for many years. Recently, the bushel rent approach has gained favor in the state, especially with landowners. These rental arrangements are sometimes also called flexible cash rents or standing rents.
The purpose of this NebGuide is to help tenants and landowners assess bushel rents and to arrive at agreements which are economically sound and fair to both.
G80-505 Economics Of Energy Used In Fallow Systems For Winter Wheat-Fallow Rotation, Robert E.J. Retzlaff, Vernon L. Hofman
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.
G80-518 Factors In Marketing Corn, W. Duane Foote
G80-518 Factors In Marketing Corn, W. Duane Foote
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This NebGuide discusses grain standards for corn and how they effect the value of corn.
Grading standards have been established for corn, wheat, barley, oats, rye, sorghum, flax seed, soybeans, triticale, and mixed grain. Grade requirements are designed to describe grain and provide the foundation for pricing. Within a defined range, grain standards inform buyers and sellers about the general characteristics of the grain being graded. Thus, a uniform system of grading is essential for the orderly marketing of grain.
G78-394 Parity Prices, Everett E. Peterson
G78-394 Parity Prices, Everett E. Peterson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Under the Food and Agriculture Act of 1977, parity prices are used to determine support levels for only two commodities: sugar and milk. However, interest in parity prices as goals for support prices of other farm products persists in farm policy discussion because of such use in 40 years of agricultural programs, and because the term "parity" carries connotations of equity for agriculture in relation to other economic sectors.
This NebGuide defines what is a parity price, how it is computed, and the parity ratio.

G78-421 How To Choose An Irrigation Consultant, James R. Gilley
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Presented here are some guidelines and criteria to aid in the selection process for irrigation management assistance.
The complexity of agricultural technology makes it difficult for the farmer to apply this technology on a day-by-day basis. Refinement and application of agricultural technology in the field has generally been through industrial representatives and federal and state extension programs.

G77-371 Nebraska Livestock Market Outlets, Allen Wellman
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

G77-367 Cost Components Of The Farm-Retail Price Spread For Beef, Allen Wellman
G77-367 Cost Components Of The Farm-Retail Price Spread For Beef, Allen Wellman
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The farm-retail spread for beef is the difference between the retail price of 1 pound of Choice beef and the farm value of live Choice steer, less the value of the by-products (hide, tallow, etc.).
This NebGuide discusses the trends, costs and profits, problems of price spreads.
G77-339 Price Spreads For Beef And Pork, Allen C. Wellman
G77-339 Price Spreads For Beef And Pork, Allen C. Wellman
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The price spreads for beef and pork are determined by calculating the differences between prices at three marketing levels: farm (live animals), wholesale (carcass or wholesale cuts), and retail (average of retail cuts). Three price spreads, farm-wholesale, wholesale-retail, and farm-retail can be estimated from these prices. Farm-to-retail price spreads for beef and pork represent the total marketnig charges for processing and distribution from farm gate through retail counter and are discussed in this NebGuide.
G77-381 Suggestions For Making Family Farm And Ranch Operating Agreements Work, Philip A. Henderson
G77-381 Suggestions For Making Family Farm And Ranch Operating Agreements Work, Philip A. Henderson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Both parents and young people are interested in ways to help the younger generation get started in farming. The kinds of arrangements being used are many. No two are exactly alike. Families have different objectives; different resources are involved, and the relative contributions which involved parties make are unique to each family situation.
There are certain principles, however, that need to be recognized in every family farm or ranch operating agreement and they are discussed here in this NebGuide.

Bulletin No. 308 - A Farm Management Study Of Farms With Dairy Enterprises In The Ogden Area, Utah, 1937-39, George T. Blanch, Dee A. Broadbent
Bulletin No. 308 - A Farm Management Study Of Farms With Dairy Enterprises In The Ogden Area, Utah, 1937-39, George T. Blanch, Dee A. Broadbent
UAES Bulletins
Farmers in the irrigated sections of Utah are confronted by several difficult problems in the management of their farms. The farms are far distant from the consumption centers of the country which results in high freight rates and a need to produce concentrated products for market, and also in violent fluctuations in farm prices. The farms usually consist of relatively few crop acres which makes intensive usage necessary for an adequate sized business. Most farms also include a considerable acreage of land unsuited to tillage. The utilization of this land makes necessary the inclusion in the farm business of a …
