Market Journal in Western Nebraska
Gary Hergert, UNL extension soils specialist, visits with Market Journal program host and UNL agricultural economist Doug Jose about the Pumpkin Creek Watershed Project. Also on this week's show, Kirk Laux, owner of a diversified farming operation near Bridgeport, describes how no-till crop production can be the foundation of how an operation responds to limited water availability.
Also on the program this week:
- Grain Market Analysis with Paul Burgener, UNL Extension Ag Economics Research Analyst
- Range Conditions with Jerry Volesky, UNL Extension Range Specialist
- Salvaging Alfalfa with Bruce Anderson, UNL Extension Forage Specialist
- Weather with Al Dutcher, Nebraska State Climatologist
On the next Market Journal June 1-3, guests will discuss how to conserve moisture and minimize soil loss to wind erosion. Also, a Torrington, Wyoming producer will describe a one-pass, zone or strip tillage system that cuts through crop residue, provides deep tillage for root development and closes the soil with a firm seed bed.
Market Journal is broadcast Fridays at 12:30 p.m. on DishNetwork NAUHS 9411, Saturdays at 7 a.m. on NET1 and Sundays at 9 a.m. on NETV2 (all times central). Visit the Market Journal Web site at marketjournal.unl.edu to watch current or previous programs.
