State Officials Warn Weeds Cost Nebraska Farmers Millions
Nebraska farmers lose an estimated 34.2 million dollars annually to weeds, equating to about two dollars per tillable acre on 17.1 million cultivated acres. The department of agriculture issued a 200 page bulletin by seed analyst Ilva Tu Norvis outlining weed identification and eradication methods, based on county agent input and experimental work. The report also lists weed seed production per plant, including tumbleweed 6,000,000 seeds and Russian thistle 200,000, underscoring the scale of the weed threat to seed quality in alfalfa and clover.

Durum Wheat Crop Prospects Show Slightly Weaker Market
The U S Department of Agriculture projects durum production at 76 million bushels this season, about 15 million more than the 1922 1926 average but with demand and export prospects dampened by larger North African and Italian crops and uncertain Canadian output. North Africa remains strong, while Russia prospects appear slightly lower than last year. Federal inspections hint at a world market impact and price premiums for durum.
