  2. Ag Leader Learned From Ground Up
    Dick Mercer learned on the job how to grow crops and feed cattle and was educated about Nebraska’s complex water issues while serving on local, state and national natural resources boards. While doing all of that he also learned one valuable thing, leadership.He grew up as a normal kind of guy, getting his feet wet with everything and eventually learned everything over time. He really liked to help people.

  3. A Year For Deadly Grain Bin Accidents:
    Tim Hansen was going to use a long pole to stop the corn from clogging while it was being loaded into the trucks. His son waited outside the grain bin with a two way radio waiting for his dad. They knew going into the grain bin would be dangerous, so they wanted to be safe, and be able to stay in contact.

  4. Cow-Calf share or lease:
    The prices for cattle are at an all time high and the beef cow numbers are at an all time low. its harder for people to get started in the cattle industry because of such high prices. many older ranchers would like to slow down but they have to keep up with the growing population. The Cow-Calf lease system would help share the revenue and expenses within the cattle industry.

  6. Cow-calf share or cash caw leases:
    This article says that now is difficult to people start in the cattle industry because the prices are so high despite beef cow numbers in the United States are at historic lows.
    The older rancher would like that now to slow down and go back like at the beginning with the lows prices but they still retain their investment in their cowherd and participate in the current and projected good times ahead.
    Cow-calf share or cash leases can be used as a way to share the revenue and expenses associated with a cow-calf enterprise when multiple people are involved.

  9. I read the one about being safe around grain bins and i thought that having two people there was a super idea just in case something happened so the two way radio was an awesome way for his son to help safely.
