Relationship Between Measures Of Semen Quality And Fertility In Bulls Mated Under Natural Conditions, J. N. Wiltbank, W. W. Rowden, J. E. Ingalls

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

An evaluation of the relationship between several measures of semen quality and fertility of bulls mated under natural conditions has been conducted over a three-year period. Semen was collected three different times with an electro-ejaculator from bulls used in the fertility tests. Collections were made at weekly intervals. Fertility was evaluated by mating bulls to heifers starting about three days after the last collection. Semen quality refers to the percent abnormals and the percent motility evaluated at the time of collection. Fertility was measured by the proportion of heifers that settled at natural service. Several multiple regression equations were calculated. …

Grain Banks In South Dakota, Harlan J. Dirks

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

Grain banking is a relatively new feed merchandising technique being used by country elevators in South Dakota. In simple terms, grain banking is any kind of an arrangement whereby farmers deposit feed grain at the elevator, and later withdraw it in one form or another, generally as mixed feed. Many country elevators have shown interest in grain banking as a means of utilizing surplus storage capacity and expanding services offered to farmers. Because of this interest, information is needed to guide elevator managers in developing more efficient and uniform methods of grain banking. This study obtained information about the operating …

Orchard Establishment Costs On The Wasatch Front, Earnest M. Morrison

Utah Resources Series

Present and potential fruit farmers are asking the question, "How much do I have invested in an acre of fruit by the time the trees are old enough to produce a paying crop?" or "How much would I have to invest to bring an acre of young trees into production?" Sometimes the question is "How much do trees add to the value of bare land?" or "How much value must I depreciate my trees each year to recover my investment by the time their productive life has passed?"

Managing Change In The Livestock Industry Of South Dakota: Papers Presented At The Fourth Annual Agri-Business Day 1965, South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station, Department Of Economics, South Dakota State University

Agricultural Experiment Station Agricultural Economics Pamphlets (1941-1991)

It is appropriate that the annual agri-business day program address itself to the current status and future potential of South Dakota's largest industry, the meat animal business. The 1965 program is the fourth in a series designed to probe opportunities for increased economic development of human and physical resources in our state. If maximum development is to take place, we must study every resource, discuss it, and then determine how we might harness it to fit man's social, cultural, and economic goals. South Dakota State University is proud of its long tradition of helping individuals and groups solve problems. But …

Profit Maximizing Farm Plans For Farms In Southeastern Nebraska: By Type And Size Of Farm, M. D. Skold, A. W. Epp, H. W. Hughes

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

There are many forces operating in today's agricultural economy which cause farmers to examine carefully their patterns of resource allocation. Rising production costs coupled with downward tendencies in product prices focuses attention on efficient patterns of resource allocation. Technical change and changing resource and product price relationships affect efficient resource allocation patterns. This study considers possible efficient farm organizations available to farmers in southeastern Nebraska with given resources. The study determines profit maximizing farm plans for farm classes with different complements of resources and at alternative product price levels. Both crop and livestock enterprises are considered. Investment activities that generate …

Sources of combined resistance to spotted alfalfa and pea aphids were found in Ranger alfalfa and its parental strains, foreign plant introductions, clones and their progenies. Ranger alfalfa appeared to be a good source for selection of plants with resistance to both aphids.

Seed And Phenological Studies With Shattercane, O. C. Burnside

Historical Research Bulletins of the Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station

This research deals with the phenology and life history of shattercane, studies on seed dormancy and germination characteristics, and a description of the natural variability that occurs within this weedy species. Detailed information is needed on this weed before an intelligent approach can be made toward its control. These studies also may serve to familiarize people with shattercane and make them cognizant of its potential as a weed.

Cacodylic Acid As A Silvicide, Maurice W. Day

Aspen Bibliography

This report deals with the effectiveness of cacodylic acid (dimethylarsenic acid) as a silvicide for undesirable trees. Cacodylic acid has been used successfully as an herbicide for the destruction of grasses and weeds. Experimental work with this material was begun during the 1963 field season, and continued during 1964, to permit complete evaluation of the results. It appears that cacodylic acid has considerable potential as a silvicide.

Report On A Visit To Israel August-September 1964, D J. Carder

Soil conservation survey collection

The main features in which farming methods and the environment in Israel differ from those in Western Australia, as they appeared to me, are:- the dominant sedimentary and limestone geology with its accompanying soil and moisture conditions population pressure which puts a premium on agricultural productivity and research the widespread use of sprinkler irrigation. These factors interact in various ways so that, although many problems are similar in the two countries (both have many pioneering problems remaining) the approaches to them vary considerably.
