Nebraska learns to build gravel roads and save costs
Nebraska state officials describe a shift in road building where gravel is dumped along the roadway and a maintenance crew spreads and seals it into a lasting base. The method, now used with federal support and in Minnesota and Iowa, costs less overall and speeds up improving highways. Cities are also gravelling streets where drainage is good, offering durable, low cost surfacing compared with pavement.

Mulching Vegetables for Early Fall Gardens
The Agricultural College of Lincoln recommends mulching long season crops such as tomatoes eggplants peppers celery and beans with straw hay or weed-free lawn clippings. Apply 5 or 6 inches thick around the first of August to reduce cultivation and boost yields. By fall the mulch will have decayed enough to not hinder plowing, but if insects are suspected it should be raked up and burned before plowing.

Cutting Sudan Grass for Hay Time of Cutting Impacts Yield
Agricultural College Lincoln reports maximum yield per acre occurs when Sudan grass is cut at heading stage. Early cuts reduce both yield and feeding value, while younger plants show higher protein, ash, and fat. overly mature stems become woody and less palatable. Well cured Sudan hay is fair but lower in protein than alfalfa or clovers, and curing can be hard if weather cooperates poorly.
