Several things with consider with the irrigating season coming to an end

With the 2024 irrigation season coming to an end, it is a good idea to consider things that can be done before next year to make irrigation management more efficient. A few things to consider when turning off your pivots for the year: an end-of-the-year checklist so that the pivot equipment is stored properly and is ready for the spring, any possible modifications that could be made to your system, and possible cost-share programs that could benefit your irrigation time and efficiency. Considering these recommendations can help conserve and manage water resources. 08/29/2024 12:00 AM

Farmers should know ag land values, current rental rates to set 2024 rates

Farmers should know ag land values, current rental rates to set 2024 rates

Land prices and rental rates are some of the highest expenses a producer must face annually. Every summer, UNL’s Center of Agricultural Profitability (CAP) releases The Nebraska Farm Real Estate Market survey. Those wanting to check it out themselves can find a pdf version at cap.unl.edu/land or can contact their local extension office, but here are some highlights: Across the state, the all-land average value for ag real estate in Nebraska increased by five percent. The Northeast region saw the second highest percent change at a six percent increase with the East region not far behind at four percent. Competition for ag land and improved weather conditions were cited as the main force guiding higher market values of land statewide despite pressure from inflation and borrowing costs. 08/07/2024 12:00 AM
