This paper presents information useful to various stakeholders,
including land managers, agency personnel, practitioners, and researchers, as it presents methodology for: determining the best period for hay harvest corresponding to peak productivity of the vegetation in rangelands; estimating the amount of hay available (biomass) at peak productivity, using commonly available satellite imagery; and highlighting the best areas for hay production based on grassland availability.
