ID-187: Woodland Winter Feeding of Cattle: Water Quality Best Management Practices
Steve Higgins, Jeff Stringer, Sarah Wightman | May. 5, 2011 (New)
Cattle maintain their body temperature in winter by burning more calories, which requires them to consume more feed. Livestock producers use wooded areas to provide protection for cattle from wind and low temperatures. That protection enables the cattle to conserve energy and eat less. Using wooded areas for winter feeding makes practical sense, but producers need to consider several environmental issues when planning for it.
AEN-99: Shade Options for Grazing Cattle
Carmen Agouridis, Steve Higgins, Sarah Wightman | Mar. 29, 2011 (New)
Shade is a must for pasture-based grazing systems. It curtails heat stress, which is detrimental to cattle and causes a decrease in milk production, feed intake, weight gains, and fertility.
ID-74: Planning Fencing Systems for Intensive Grazing Management
Curtis Absher, Ken Evans, Larry Turner | Feb. 16, 2011 (Reprinted)
ID-171: Using Dry Lots to Conserve Pastures and Reduce Pollution Potential
Roberta Dwyer, Steve Higgins | Feb. 16, 2011 (Reprinted)
PR-608: 2010 Fruit and Vegetable Research Report
Doug Archbold, Paul Bachi, Sandra Bastin, Julie Beale, Steve Berberich, Ric Bessin, Bob Caudle, Jennie Condra, Tim Coolong, Leighia Eggett, Vaden Fenton, Lucas Hanks, John Hartman, Nathan Howell, Kelly Jackson, June Johnston, Chlodys Johnstone, Patrick Kelley, Katie Kittrell, Janet Lensing, Amy Lentz Poston, Sara Long, Patty Lucas, Sean Lynch, Logan Minter, John Obrycki, Janet Pfeiffer, Sutapa Roy, Marc Ruberg, Rebecca Schnelle, Delia Scott, Kenny Seebold, Pam Sigler, Darrell Slone, Chris Smigell, John Snyder, Dave Spalding, John Strang, Ginny Travis, Joseph Tucker, Sarah Vanek, Jeff Wheeler, John Wilhoit, Mark Williams, Patsy Wilson, Dwight Wolfe | Dec. 20, 2010 (New)
Fruit and vegetable production in Kentucky continues to grow. The 2010 Fruit and Vegetable crops research report includes results for more than 34 field research and demonstration trials that were conducted in 20 counties in Kentucky.
ID-185: Planting a Riparian Buffer
Carmen Agouridis, Chris Barton, Amanda A. Gumbert, Sarah Wightman | Sep. 28, 2010 (New)
Actively creating a riparian buffer typically consists of six steps: site assessment, planting plan development, site preparation, species selection, planting, and protection and maintenance.
AEN-96: Low-Cost Cold Storage Room for Market Growers
John Wilhoit | Aug. 23, 2010 (Reprinted)
Lower-cost cold storage options can benefit market growers by helping preserve produce freshness and quality for a few additional days. Produce losses can be significantly reduced, especially for growers transitioning to a higher level of production who have excess produce to carry over from one day's market to the next.
AEN-97: Pallet Rack Structures for Curing Burley Tobacco
Dave Ash, George Duncan, John Wilhoit | Jul. 29, 2010 (New)
Curing facilities for housing tobacco can be expensive. However, using pallet racks for suspending stick tobacco, a recently developed technique for curing burley tobacco, can offer tobacco growers an alternative that substantially reduces long-term investment.
HENV-201: Building a Rain Barrel
Carmen Agouridis, Tyler Henningsen, Otto Hoffman, Ashley Osborne, Russ Turpin | Jul. 28, 2010 (New)
Rain barrels offer a number of benefits such as helping to reduce stormwater runoff, decreasing municipal water usage, and potentially protecting your home's foundation. Impervious surfaces such as rooftops, parking lots, and roads prevent rainwater or stormwater from soaking into the soil.
PR-602: 2009 Nursery and Landscape Research Report
Sharon Bale, Win Dunwell, Rick Durham, Bill Fountain, Bob Geneve, John Hartman, Dewayne Ingram, John Obrycki, Dan Potter, Richard Warner, Tim Woods | Jan. 7, 2010 (New)
The 2009 report has been organized according to our primary areas of emphasis: production and economics, pest management, and plant evaluation. These areas reflect stated industry needs, expertise available at UK, and the nature of research projects around the world that generate information applicable to Kentucky.
