  12. 1-500 These Federal lands, administered by the US Forest Service, were established in 1960 to reclaim areas damaged by severe erosion during the dust bowl.

  13. 1-500A 1 - 100 What are National Grasslands? * $500

  14. 2-100 Each grass tiller has its own set of these which produce leaves and elevate as the grass plant grows. 1 - 100

  15. 2-100A 1 - 100 What are growing points? * $100

  16. 2-200 The removal of plant material by livestock grazing, wildlife grazing, insects, fire or hail.

  17. 2-200A 1 - 100 What is defoliation? * $200

  18. 2-300 These are needed to keep a grass plant’s buds alive through the winter allowing the buds to make new tillers in the spring.

  19. 2-300A 1 - 100 What are stored carbohydrates? * $300

  20. The principle of grazing management which explains how much defoliation can occur while keeping plants healthy and productive.

  21. 2-400A 1 - 100 What is “take half, leave half”? or What is moderate grazing? * $400

  22. The average percentage of grass roots that die and must be replaced each year.

  28. A listing of invasive plants that are known to occur in Nebraska or adjacent states and that are not listed as noxious, but that are a priority for containment.

  30. This noxious weed is a legume that was introduced for livestock forage and hay.

  36. The number of indicators used to evaluate rangeland health.

  37. 4-200A 1 - 100 What is Seventeen? * $200

  38. A layer of dense soil occurring about 6” from the soil surface that restricts root growth and water infiltration.
