Management For Weaning Healthy, Marketable Calves, Clell Bagley

All Current Publications

Weaning is an extremely stressful time for beef calves and involves the potential for severe economic loss. The most common problems usually involve respiratory and/or digestive diseases. Weaned calves should be retained for 3–6 weeks after weaning.

Dystocia (Difficult Lambing), Clell Bagley

All Current Publications

If the flock is lambed on the range, assistance is not given to individual ewes. Catching those needing help causes so much disruption of ewes with normal lambs and results in so many orphans, it is detrimental. One of the primary advantages of shed lambing a range flock is being able to better assist during birth and those first crucial hours of life.

Reproductive Diseases Of Sheep, Clell Bagley

All Current Publications

Diseases which reduce the reproduction rate are common in Utah flocks. The major problem seen in the ewes is abortion. With rams, the major disease affecting reproduction is ram epididymitis.

Agricultural Research Division: News and Annual Reports

It is a pleasure to provide you with the 111th Annual Report of the University of Nebraska Agricultural Research Division (ARD). Once a year we take the opportunity to assess what has been accomplished by our faculty, students, and staff during the past twelve months. In looking at the report, one cannot help but be impressed with the increasing outputs from our research program, but more important is the new technology and knowledge provided to Nebraskans to improve the profitability and competitiveness of their enterprises, to enhance the environment, and to improve their quality of life.

This report provides some …

Grain Marketing Patterns In South Dakota: Methods Of Purchase, Methods Of Sale, Grain Destinations, And Modes Of Transportation, Bashir Qasmi, Kelly Mcdaniel

Economics Research Reports (1969 - 2017)

The U.S. Agriculture is going through a transition. Federal spending on farm programs are being curtailed and agricultural policies are being modified to make production of farm commodities responsive to the market forces. In this competitive environment, efforts on the part of the commodity groups for market development are becoming increasingly more important. However, in order to devise any market development plan for a commodity, the understanding of the present status of the marketing system is important. At the minimum, one needs to know the methods of purchase and sale, types of buyers, shipment destinations, and transportation modes for the …

Financial data is compiled from financial statements and balance sheets, which are designed to meet legal and administrative requirements rather than economic analysis needs. The Finance and Accounts Department prepares the CBN accounting balance sheet data for the Research Department to compile the CBN analytical accounts. However, major revisions were made due to imprecise definitions, improper classification, inadequate sectorization, inaccuracies, irregular valuation procedures, and errors in data compilation on foreign assets. The Computer Services Department uses high-level computing to generate both summary and detailed analytical balance sheets based on the end-month BANKOS 302 of the CBN, Lagos branch.

Production And Financial Standards For The Pork Industry, Allen Prosch, Larry Bitney

Cornhusker Economics

The 1996 summary for the Nebraska Swine Enterprise and Analysis Program shows that there is a lot of difference between average, the high 1/3 and the low 1/3 of producers when it comes to a profit. Producers in the average group showed a 27% rate of return on capital, while those in the top 1/3 showed a return of 49%. Total cost per cwt. for an average producer on the records program was $50.71 while the producers in the high profit 1/3 produced that pork for $44.96 per cwt.

Coping With Potholes In Your Farm Transition Pathway, Part Ii*, Paul H. Gessaman

Cornhusker Economics

Transferring a family-operated farm or ranch between generations presents many challenges. Typically, the transfer requires inter-generational transitions in management, ownership, and control of the operating unit. These transitions can occur a little at a time over a period of years. Or, they can happen very quickly when a divorce, a death, a disability, a dispute, or a departure quickly remove a person from production unit activities. Whether the transition is slow or quick, the life situations of two or more generations of individuals and families are changed.

Evaluation Of Continuous Flow Constructed Wetlands Treating Swine Waste, Stephanie Rivard

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The ability for wetlands to purify contaminated water is not a new concept. Natural wetlands have been cleansing water within our environment for ages. After studying the process of natural wetlands the same concept was applied to municipal waste. It is the success of constructed wetlands treating municipal waste that created the new idea for the application of a wetland system to treat wastewater from livestock facilities. Through proper design and management, constructed wetlands may be useful for reducing the nutrient concentration of waste (Rieck el al., 1996). Taking into consideration the higher nutrient loads of livestock waste, the same …

Native Vegetation On Farms Survey 1996 : A Survey Of Farmers Attitudes To Native Vegetation And Landcare In The Wheatbelt Of Western Australia, Suzanne Jenkins

Resource management technical reports

The Native Vegetation on Farms survey 1996 was performed to assess the attitudes of farmers to a number of issues related to existing native vegetation on farmland, the replanting of vegetation on farms and land degradation. Research has shown that it is important for a proportion of all farmland to have some native vegetation for ecological stability, to regulate hydrological processes and for long-term sustainability of farm production.

Multi-Year Hedging Of Corn, 1973-1995, Dennis M. Conley

Cornhusker Economics

Multi-year hedging involves placing a hedge for more than one year and then unwinding it as physical product is sold. A recent study analyzed two-year hedges for corn in an attempt to capture the higher prices that occurred over the 23-year period of 1973- 1995. Cash prices were for No. 2 yellow corn at Omaha on October 15, or the nearest business day. Futures prices were from the December contract month at the Chicago Board of Trade.

Coping With Potholes In Your Farm Transition Pathway, Part I, Paul H. Gessaman

Sooner or later transitions emerge in personal and business life. Some are based on opportunities: land or other resources become available at an affordable cost, family members acquire and use new skills, new markets open, new technology is released, someone joins the family through marriage or adoption, or another form of good fortune occurs.
