Meat prices surge as poor weather hits U.S. feed crops

Meat prices surge as poor weather hits U.S. feed crops
The world economy faces a fresh wave of food inflation as the price of meat surges on the back of record prices for corn and soybean, the main fodder crops for farm animals. Both crops jumped to fresh highs on Monday after U.S. farmers said heavy rain and low temperatures over the past six weeks had damaged millions of acres of crops and meant several million more acres had been left unplanted.

Vegetative Systems Treat Livestock Runoff

Vegetative Systems Treat Livestock Runoff

Related ATTRA Publication: Constructed Wetlands

The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension Livestock Producer Environmental Assistance Project recently held a tour showcasing four Nebraska cattlemen who are using vegetative treatment systems to control and treat runoff from their open livestock lots. The project, funded by a Nebraska Environmental Trust grant, is designed to help small- and medium-sized cattle and cow-calf producers. Vegetative treatment systems are a substitute for the conventional holding pond. Instead of a pond, producers use an area of perennial grass called a vegetative treatment area that drinks up the water and nutrients in the liquid runoff. The tour featured some unique vegetative treatment systems, including a sprinkler system and a feeding area for cow-calf pairs that is surrounded by four grazing paddocks.

New Web Site Aids Ornamental Horticulture Industry

New Web Site Aids Ornamental Horticulture Industry

A new online resource for Wisconsin's commercial herbaceous ornamental industry is now available from the UW-Madison Department of Horticulture. The Wisconsin Ornamentals Website includes a forum for questions, answers and observations, links to information from industry, professional organizations and educational institutions, a calendar of upcoming events that allows you to set reminders, the ability to "subscribe" to portions of the site to know when new items are posted, opportunity for feedback, comments and questions, and access to a bi-weekly newsletter. Wisconsin Ag Connection reports the site is public, although to participate in the forum section a visitor must register. Some basic individual business information is requested when registering in order to tailor parts of the site to particular needs expressed by visitors.
