Big Horn Basin crop budgets for irrigated alfalfa, barley, corn and sugar beets are now available for download as a PDF, HTML or ePub at https://bit.ly/CropB1363.

“The goal of these budgets is to help producers make more informed decisions on their own operations,” said Brian Lee, University of Wyoming Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics research scientist.

Lee and others saw a need for budgets based off the Big Horn Basin region after producing budgets for southeast Wyoming.

The budgets provide a representative model for alfalfa, barley, corn and sugar beets and contain one year of production.

Now, Currano’s findings are part of a new scientific paper that reconstructs the forest canopy of 56 million years ago, during a massive and abrupt emission of carbon into the atmosphere during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM).

A month later, the young hawk, healed and ready to resume its journey, flew from UW’s lawn to the trees between the S.H. Knight Geology Building and the Engineering Building before heading southeast.
