Austin:
	The numbers I provided originated in a class on Range Management
Planning taught by Walter Fick here at KSU.  I assume this is the same
info that the Agronomy Department and Extension service provides to
ranchers here.  I forwarded your questions to Dr. Fick, and when he
replies I'll forward his reply to this list.
