Market Journal in Western Nebraska

UNL Market Journal program host Doug Jose visits with Ron Schlagel about a minimum tillage planter Schlagel developed to meet two key goals: conserving soil moisture and reducing losses from wind erosion.

 

Also on the program this week: 

• Livestock Market Analysis with Al Prosch, UNL extension ag economics educator
• Condition of Panhandle Wheat Crop with Drew Lyon, UNL extension dryland crops specialist
• Side-dressing Corn with Anhydrous Ammonia with Bob Klein, UNL extension cropping systems specialist; and

On the next Market Journal June 8, guests will discuss how analysis of farm business records provides a basis to benchmark how the farm business is doing compared to other farms. The 2006 Nebraska Farm Business report also will be discussed.
