Body

Forage production on clay upland range sites is related to seasonal precipitation, with May + June precipitation the most reliable predictor of total forage production. Annual carrying capacities, based on May + June precipitation, for a clay upland site range from 2 acres/AUM in wet years through 3 acres/AUM in average years to 4 acres/AUM in dry years.
