Nebraska farm economy mismeasures crop and livestock value
University of Nebraska Lincoln Extension economist Dr. Philip A. Henderson notes crops and livestock are unevenly valued in 1969 cash receipts. Livestock accounted for 22 percent while crops were 28 percent of Nebraska's total production value, with cows, hogs, and hay rising in importance as irrigation and feedlot activity expand. He urges recognizing livestock sales as crop marketed through animals and projects continued growth in corn, cattle, and hogs as irrigation expands.
