Best Method For Pumping Water Varies
Lincoln based extension irrigationist Dean Axthelm says there is no single economical fuel for irrigation pumping. Farmers should use the Cost of Pumping Form No 30799 from County Extension Offices to compare fuels for their specific farm. It helps assess power unit choice by factors such as convenience, reliability, supply, repairs, original cost, piping, noise, and cleanliness.

High Moisture Corn Best But Not Essential
Dr Matsushima of the University of Nebraska says cattle need not be finished on high moisture corn. Immature high moisture corn may have lower feeding value than near maturity. Cattle prefer 15 to 20 percent moisture. gradual shifts from high to dry corn are advised. More pounds may be needed when moving from low to high moisture corn.

Mulching Shows Open Soil Structure in Nebraska Study
Experimental work by J W Turelle and T M McCalla indicates surface soil subjected to mulching loses compactness, creating a looser structure than plowed soil. This looser soil would allow faster water intake, according to the Nebraska Soil Conservation Service and USDA researchers at the University of Nebraska.
