Forage Suitability Group Database

The Forage Suitability Database allows you to query adapted forage species for a particular soil.  Queries can be based on MLRA, precipitation zones, soil type, dryland or irrigated land use, and the forage plant's adaptability to the site.  The program also has links to an instruction manual, the Wyoming MLRA map, the WEB Soil Survey to assist in determining your soil type, lists of each Wyoming county's soils and their corresponding Forage Suitability Group, FSG Group narratives, the "Plants Database Fact Sheets," and the background Land Resource Unit information on the factors used to assign Wyoming's Forage Suitability Groups.
