GRAZE4

The GRAZE4 program was developed for use to plan, implement and document grazing systems in southwest Missouri.  It utilized the electronic J.S.Agron.1 (Livestock Forage Balance worksheet) developed by staff in Area 5 (Cape Girardeau) plus incorporated the Time Control Grazing Worksheet (known to most in this area as GRAZWS1.wk1 and sent to the field offices 9/14/95 by IRM transmittal).  GRAZE4 made improvements to both tools plus added an easy to use graph that plots the amount of forage needed per month against the amount available.  This simple graph does not require any manipulation by the user except simply printing it out.  The Livestock-Forage Balance worksheet can be used independent of the other worksheet.  The Time Control Grazing worksheet requires the Livestock Forage Balance worksheet to be completed first.
