Market Journal Examines Use of Manure in Crop Production

Market Journal Examines Use of Manure in Crop Production

January 2007

On this week's Market Journal host Doug Jose visits with several guests about the benefits of using animal manure for crop production.

Also on the program: 

  • Grain Markets are Very Active with Paul Burgener, UNL agricultural economics research analyst
  • Why are Beef Carcass Gradings Lower? with Galen Erickson, UNL Extension beef feedlot nutritionist
  • Market Journal Toolbox with Darrell Mark, UNL marketing specialist
  • Weather Update with Al Dutcher, Nebraska state climatologist

On the next Market Journal Feb. 2 guests will address how the increase in grain prices has created a volatile cash rent situation. Some adjustment in cash rents is warranted but how much? The risks of falling commodity prices and fluctuating yields still exist. Bruce Johnson, UNL professor of agricultural economics, will explain a flexible rent based on a negotiated base price and yield.
