Rangeland Forage Production and Sensor Data- April 2019

Graph-Forage Production By Month
A bar chart titled "SFREC Forage Growth by Month - Historical Avg. vs 2017-18, 2018-19." It compares forage growth in pounds per acre across months from December to peak, with three color-coded bars: green for historical average, orange for 2017-2018, and purple for 2018-2019. The chart shows that forage growth peaked in May for both years, with 2017-2018 reaching 5514 lbs/acre and 2018-2019 reaching 5514 lbs/acre, while the historical average remains lower.

 

 

Forage Production Chart
A table showing data for the years 2018/2019 and historical averages. It includes columns labeled Residue, Germinating Rain, and weights in pounds per acre for January, February, March, and April 2019, as well as a column for Residue. The table indicates residue amounts of 1459 and 1137, germinating rain of 11/22 and 10/21, and weights in pounds per acre for each month, with total weights of 1939 and 1613 for 2018/2019 and historic average, respectively.           
       

 

 

Soil Sensor Station Chart
A table titled "Soil Sensor Station: Open," showing soil temperature in Fahrenheit and water content in inches per meter squared for different months in 2018 and 2019. The table includes columns for soil temperature, water content at two depths (5-10 cm and 65-65 cm), with data for November 2018, December 2018, January 2019, February 2019, and March 2019. Notably, some data for March 2019 is marked as n/a.

 

 

Forage Production precip chart
A table titled "Forage Plot Precipitation: Forage Plot (USC14) vs. Cimis (Sc7)," detailing monthly data from November 2018 to April 2019. Columns include forage plot size in inches, total accumulated precipitation in inches, Cimis (Sc7) inches, and total accumulated precipitation in inches. It shows increasing precipitation over time, with significant totals in February and March, and notes equipment failure in April 2019.
