For most people, pollen means allergies and bees mean stings. However, you should thank a bee, butterfly, bat, bird, or other pollinator for one out of every three bites of food you eat. Pollination is the transfer of pollen from one flower to another. It is a …

Ec00-153 Selecting Alfalfa Varieties For Nebraska, Bruce Anderson, Michael Trammell, Patrick E. Reece

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Yield potential, pest resistance and seed price should be considered when selecting alfalfa varieties in Nebraska.

The most important variety decision on many farms and ranches is the selection of alfalfa. The choice of alfalfa variety affects production for three to 10 or more years, whereas varieties of annual crops can be change every year.

This extension circular lists the alfalfa varieties that have been tested in Nebraska with commercial seed for two or more years since 1997 and marketed in the state. These are the 2000 results.

Ec00-279 Synchronizing Esetrus In Beef Cattle, Richard J. Rasby, Gene H. Deutscher

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Synchronization of estrus (heat) involves manipulating the estrous cycle of beef females in a herd so they can be bred at approximately the same time. There are several traditional protocols available for synchronizing estrus among beef females.

This extension circular discusses the programs and protocols used in synchronizing estrus in the beef cow.

Ec00-823 2000 Nebraska Farm Custom Rates - Part I, H. Douglas Jose, Melissa Van Winkle

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Every two years a survey of the custom oeprations is conducted to determine the current rates charged for specific machinery operations. The survey is divided into two parts: spring and summer operations, including planting and small grains harvest in Part I, and information about fall and miscellaneous operations in Part II.

Ec00-829 Flexible Cash Leasing Of Cropland, Roger Selley, Bruce B. Johnson, H. Douglas Jose, John D. Cole

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Agreeing on a cash rent can be a challenging task. Typically there is considerable uncertainty about what prices and yields will be in the upcoming year, and anticipating revenues is further complicated with the uncertainty of farm program payments, particularly in low income years when Congress may appropriate unexpected assistance. Attempting to determine a cash rent to apply for more than one year adds to the challenge. Also, adjustments to rent are required over time to remain current with changes in farm program provisions, production costs, productivity and product price levels.

The expected costs and revenues used to establish a …

Ec00-154 Precision Agriculture: Soil Sampling For Precision Agriculture, Richard B. Ferguson, Gary W. Hergert

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

As various aspects of precision agriculture are implemented in Nebraska, some of the most frequent questions asked by producers, fertilizer dealers and crop consultants relate to soil sampling. Should I soil sample this field on a grid? What grid spacing should I use? How often should I sample? Can I use a yield map to tell where to soil sample? All of these are good questions, but often we do not have definitive answers. Site-specific management research conducted in recent years in Nebraska, however, provides some direction on how to implement a soil sampling program for precision agriculture.

G00-1414 Rewarding Team Members, Janet Fox

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

This NebGuide explains how managers can tailor recognition to individuals, thus increasing its effectiveness.

The Importance of Rewards

If there's one thing in life that everyone wants it's to be appreciated, rewarded and recognized for their contributions. Studies indicate that employees find personal recognition more motivational than money. Results of a recent Council on Communication Management survey confirms this. According to a recent Gallup poll of people who stopped volunteering, 42 percent said they felt their work was unimportant or was unappreciated at the work place or in a volunteer setting, appropriately rewarding people is important to retention and job …

No-Till Soybeans, James H. Herbek

Agriculture and Natural Resources Publications

Soybean acreage in Kentucky more than tripled during the 1970s from less than 500,000 acres in 1969 to more than 1.6 million acres by 1979. Currently, 1.2 million acres or more of soybeans are planted annually. A great concern for soil erosion developed due to this expansion onto marginal erodible land. No-till systems of soybean production make it possible to maintain productivity on erodible land while keeping erosion losses within tolerable levels.

Dasar Pembangunan Belia Negara tidak mempunyai unsur tolakan tolakan generasi belia kepada aktiviti pertanian manakala Dasar Pertanian Negara tiada unsur menarik generasi belia luar bandar semakan rengang dengan aktiviti pertanian akibat faktor tarikan dari sektor-sektor ekonomi lain dan faktor tolakan dalam perkembangan generasi belia menyertai aktiviti pertanian oleh pihak berkuasa yang berkenaan juga semakin perlahan.

Ini termasuklah perkembangan pesat sektor perkilangan berbanding sektor pertanian telah menyebabkan kecenderungan memilih …

Helping Dairy Producers Reduce The Scc, Clell Bagley

All Current Publications

Practicing veterinarians are in an excellent position to help dairy producers recognize and deal with the problem of elevated somatic cell counts (SCC). Yet they are seldom asked to assist. A high SCC is an indication of chronic, subclinical mastitis in the herd and is also an indication of significant economic losses.
