Production
RAP npp-partitioned-v3, 30 m. Annual plus perennial, lbs per acre.
Composition
RAP cover v3. Rainfall from gridMET.
Map
H3 res-12 cells clipped to each field line. Colour measured at res-11: a res-12 cell is 307 m2 against a 900 m2 RAP pixel, so it sharpens shape, not the number.
Window
Record runs 2008-2025. The page shows 2018 on; earlier years fit each field's rainfall expectation. RAP publishes a year behind.
Note
2018-2025 was dry here and production fell on all five fields. Some of the level difference predates 2018. The expectation chart is the measure that controls for both.
