Synopsis

Turn highway medians into forage that can support livestock. This study shows northeastern Wyoming’s interstate medians and borrow areas can provide a dependable source of quality forage. It examines yields, fertilization effects, and nutritional content across multiple years and sites, helping land managers understand how to optimize forage production along road corridors.


The report compares fertilized and nonfertilized plots, notes how vegetation mix affects yield, and tracks nutrients like protein, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium. It also reports on lead content, putting safety into context for livestock grazing near highways.



  • How fertilization changes crude protein and mineral levels in crested wheatgrass

  • Differences in forage yields between narrow and wide medians and across years

  • Influence of local vegetation, water availability, and harvest timing on output

  • Safety considerations for trace elements in highway-adjacent forage


Ideal for readers interested in rangeland management, forage production, and practical data on using unconventional land for grazing.
