[QUOTE="dave_shelby, post: 1233847, member: 22579"] The family land doesnt ain't working out and we are looking at farms across VA (and toying with moving to MO, lol) I am trying to use the USDA soil survey site to help compare and go beyond what the owner says the land will carry. You can run numbers on the USDA site for both hay with results in tons and for pasture with results in AUM. There doesnt seem to be any consistent basis to formulate AUM. For example one soil might list at 3 tons/years hay and 3 AUM, yet another will list soil at 3 tons and 3 AUM. Do the USDA numbers carry any meaningful weight or should I stick with soil characteristics? [/QUOTE]
