Data from: Framework to Develop an Open-Source Forage Data Network to Improve Primary Productivity and Enhance System Resiliency
A compilation of experimental forage data from 108 unique locations across the United States, with harvest dates ranging from 1958 to 2022. This dataset contains a subset of the data compiled in the initial stages of development of the Forage Data Hub. In particular, these are the 37,970 data entries used for the forage system resiliency analysis presented in the primary article.

Ag Data CommonsIntended use
These are lightly preprocessed data compiled and prepared according to the methods described in Ashworth et al. (2023) - Framework to Develop an Open-Source Forage Data Network to Improve Primary Productivity and Enhance System Resiliency (in review). These data can be used to study U.S. forage systems at a systems-level scale (across environments, species, management practices, etc.).Use limitations
These data are relatively low-resolution – reported yields are yearly totals and many variables needed to fully understand system dynamics are currently missing. As such, the data would be best used only to help ascertain general patterns or in conjunction with additional data.Temporal Extent Start Date
