dc.description.abstract We present information useful to various stakeholders, including land managers, agency personnel, practitioners, and researchers, as it presents methodology for: 1) Determining the best period for hay harvest corresponding to peak productivity of the vegetation in rangelands; 2) Estimating the amount of hay available (biomass) at peak productivity, using commonly available satellite imagery; and 3) Highlighting the best areas for hay production based on grassland availability. All of this is done by employing the readily available tools of remote sensing and geographical information system. en_US
