% Change in Grassland Production for Your Area this Summer Compared to Its 36-yr Average

< 30%-30% to -15%-15% to -5%-5% to +5%+5% to + 15%+15% to + 30%> 30%No Data

% Change in 2026 Predicted ANPP compared to 1990-2025 mean ANPP Assuming ABOVE Normal Precipitation through August (%)

Predictions are for total production than the long term average. To achieve this more inches of precipitation are needed by August 31st - this has happened % of the last 100 years.

% Change in 2026 Predicted ANPP compared to 1990-2025 mean ANPP Assuming NEAR Normal Precipitation through August (%)

Predictions are for total production than the long term average.To achieve this more inches of precipitation are needed by August 31st - this has happened % of the last 100 years.
