Market Lambs Boost Income for Nebraska Farmers
Extension specialist Ted Doane says returns from sheep outperform all other livestock. The program promotes market lamb production, with Western ewes favored and 320,000 sheep statewide plus 450,000 feeding lambs. Orders via county agents and the Nebraska Ewe Distribution program are encouraged to expand flocks, with yearlings lasting 7 to 8 years and 75 to 85 percent of original ewes kept.

Base acreages for 1961 are formed from 80 percent of 1960 and 20 percent of 1959 history, with a fixed countywide increase to preserve historical acres. The county base shows 234 368 acres versus a ten year average of 236 242. New allotments will be mailed in early July. Cheyenne County received 407 acres fewer than last year due to more states classifying as Commercial Wheat States. The basic 1960 crop support price is $1.70 per bushel with loans available at minimum rates. terminal rates apply. Nonrecourse price support has a $50 000 cap. exceptions apply for 1960 acreage reductions. Excess production penalties apply under marketing quotas. New Wheat Farms deadlines and apportionment rules were outlined, with no new wheat farms in Cheyenne County recently.

Narrow windbreaks improve if broadleaf trees are cut back to restore sunlight for evergreens. Russian olive mulberry and Chinese elm are cited, with guidance from Joe Range and the Extension forester. Cost assistance exists through the Agriculture Conservation Program and county ASC offices for loans and terminal rates.
