]]> Mike Johanns Nebraska Agriculture Fact Card http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/ageconnews/13 http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/ageconnews/13 Fri, 03 Oct 2008 08:31:12 PDT Cash receipts from farm marketings contributed over $12 billion to Nebraska’s economy in 2006, ranking 4th in the nation.

Nebraska’s six leading commodities (in order of importance) for cash receipts are cattle and calves, corn, soybeans, hogs, wheat, and dairy products, which represent 95 percent of the state's total farm receipts.

]]> Creameries and Dairying in Nebraska: What Has Been Done and What May Be Done (1883) http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/ageconnews/12 http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/ageconnews/12 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 09:21:53 PST The question with every farmer is, how to make the most from his land. Grain growing by itself will not do it, but grain, stock and dairying will. While crops of corn, oats, rye and millet are growing, the cows are turning the grass of the prairie into butter, calves and hogs. The butter brings cash monthly; the calves and hogs convert the grain into beef and pork. The demand for butter, cheese and condensed milk is increasing faster than the supply, and the market at our western doors, where good articles will always bring the highest prices, will take all the surplus which Nebraska will for years produce. Not what might be produced if a million more acres of her now unused pasture lands were occupied. The object of this article is to give a sketch of the creameries of the State, and those which have been built in the Platte valley during the year in Nebraska, to show the profitable working of the system to the manufacturer, and the demand for an increase of butter and cheese factories. The profit pf the farmer is shown by the statements of reliable men, with some practical remarks as to the proper means of bringing the work of the farmer up to the highest standard of profit.
