Market Journal: Estimating the Cost of Winter Grazing

On the December 7 Market Journal Matt Stockton, extension agricultural economist, talks with host Doug Jose about how producers can use the Corn Stalk Graizing Calculator to determine if corn stalk acres leased are adequate to support the number and size of cattle planned for the grazing season. Calculations made using this Excel ® spreadsheet also include the cost to transport and monitor the animals. This braodcast is available on the Market Journal Web site.

Update on the Hog Markets with Ron Plain, ag economist, University of Missouri-Columbia
Details on the Ag Census with Joe Parsons, Nebraska Agricultural Statistics Service
