Neb. Admin. Code § 350-14-002.31 — Grassland is the state and condition of the range based on what it is naturally capable of producing

Grassland includes all types of grasses, permanent b romegrass, other introduced grasses, and native grasses used for grazing or mowed for hay. In many instances it is not possible to identify permanent bromegrass from temporary bromegrass that is grown as part of the crop rotation. For this reason, all of the present bromegrass should be classified as grassland until the area is returned to cultivation. There may be situations where an alfalfa and grass mixture is grown in rotation with cropland or is harvested for hay. These areas can be classified as c ropland but their market value may be more representative of grassland. Areas of wooded grazing land are classified as grassland not timberland or wasteland. When there are significant areas of trees or timber on a parcel, and it can no longer be grazed, consideration needs to be given to placing the affected acres in the forestland and timberland category. 002.31A Hardland Grassland is a term commonly used to distinguish the silty and clayey grassland areas from those of the sandy grassland areas. 002.31B Introduced Grassland is an area devoted to the production of introduced grass species, such as bromegrass, and harvested by grazing. 002.31C Native Grassland is all land producing native forage for animal consumption and land that is revegetated naturally or artificially to provide a forage cover that is managed like native vegetation. 002.31D Sandy Grassland generally refers to rangesites in which soils range from very fine sandy loam to loamy fine sand in texture. Typically these grasslands ha ve rapid permeability, low runoff, and have low water tables.
