FARMING The cost to plant crops is all the same. You can grow up to 160 acres of crops (16 items). You may plant on all the land, or only part of it. You will buy your crops from the Crops Market. SELLING CROPS They may sell for different prices depending on the market. You will learn what your investment return is after you turn in your crops to the market.

RAISING You may decide to raise livestock. You only need to pay for the cost of feed. You do not need to reserve farm land for livestock. At this time, public land could be used for this purpose. SELLING LIVESTOCK They may sell for different prices depending on the market. You will learn what your investment return is after you turn in your crops to the market.

PLANTING CROPS/RAISING LIVESTOCK

CORNBEANS WHEAT BARLEY OATS FIELD HAY TOBACCO FIELD PEAS CATTLE SHEEP HOGS

OUTCOMES

A serious lack of early spring rain in July almost destroyed the wheat, barley, and oat crop in central Nebraska. The prices paid for corn, beans, field peas, and tobacco are up because of drought east of the Mississippi. Cattle prices are depressed because of large herds of range stock being sold in Texas. The price for sheep is up and the price paid for hogs is at an all time high.

CORNBEANS WHEAT BARLEY OATS FIELD HAY TOBACCO FIELD PEAS CATTLE SHEEP HOGS

OUTCOMES

This was the coldest winter in history with temperatures of 60* below zero destroyed most of the cattle and hogs. Sheep prices are high. Abundant spring and summer rain throughout most of the state has produced excellent crops. The price of corn, wheat, barley, and oats is good and the price of tobacco and field peas remains the same. The bean crop has produced a small yield because of late frost and the field hay prices are depressed because of limited demand for hay.
