Evaluates standing crop of current year's growth and response of key management grasses following prescribed burns in mid-May and mid-June during 2 dry years. Burns were a test of fire to control Kentucky bluegrass. Mid-May burns produced desirable results on overflow range sites but reduced production of desirable grasses on silty range sites. Mid-June burning is not recommended on either range site during drought.
