Bergland touches on canal treaties
Agriculture Secretary Bergland argues farmers will back the Panama Canal treaties once they see benefits. He says keeping the canal open with reasonable tolls is vital as 2 percent of farm exports pass through, and an amicable agreement with Panama secures future operation.

Lower corn prices keys for feeders
Lincoln Neb read that lower corn and supplement costs this fall could favor feeding calves or lighter weight steers over heavies. Dr. Philip A. Henderson of the University of Nebraska forecasts higher slaughter cattle prices in 1978, possibly $42 to $45 per hundredweight, with feed grains and high protein feeds cheaper than last winter. Break-even and feeder economics depend on corn at about $1.75 a bushel and soybean meal near $150 per ton, with potential profits around $4 per hour for labor if prices hold.

Planting Certified Seed Seen as Insurance for High Wheat Yields
Nebraska wheat producers are urged to use certified seed to maximize yields and reduce costs. NCIA notes higher expenses in preparing bin-run wheat and cites trials comparing Centurk Scout and Lancer varieties, showing superior yields with certified seed. Certified seed is available through Nebraska seedsmen and county Extension offices.

Soybean Narrow Row Tests Impress at UNL Field Day
UNL researchers at Mead showcase field day findings on soybean yields across three row spacings and irrigation treatments. Dr James Williams notes narrow rows may boost production while stressing week irrigation plans. Studies explore flowering and bean fill water needs, planting dates, and cropping sequences with sorghum.
