Sustainable Use of Crop Residues on Cow/Calf and Yearling Operations Conference
June 2013
University of Nebraska–Lincoln Extension held a conference/webinar on sustainable use of crop residues for cow/calf and yearling operations on June 10, 2013. Historic high crop prices and drought conditions have contributed to record high forage prices. These conditions are encouraging both cattle producers and crop farmers to consider the value and use of crop residue in beef production.
