  • Interpret key data-rainfall records, forage estimates, and habitat scores-to guide sustainable range decisions.
  • Use free tools to track forage supply, precipitation trends, and pasture health across multiple units.
  • How to calculate stocking rates for livestock and wildlife by matching grazable forage, land condition, and animal demand.
