The open grass-dominated vegetation, burned and unburned, in the Jarbidge Mountains is dominated by mountain brome (Bromus carinatus), Idaho fescue (Festuca idahoensis), slender wheatgrass (Agropyron trachycaulum), Columbia needlegrass (Stipa nelsonii), and scattered patches of basin wildrye (Elymus cinereus) and the introduced Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis). Native shrub diversity includes mountain big sagebrush Artemisia tridentata vaseyana), green rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus), mountain snowberry (Symphoricarpos oreophilus), serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifolia), and horsebrush (Tetradymia canescens). Native forb diversity includes showy fleabane (Erigeron speciosus), tapertip hawksbeard (Crepis acuminata), arrowleaf balsamroot (Balsamorhiza sagittata), mule-ears (Wyethia amplexicaulis), five-nerved helianthella (Helianthella quinquenervis), parsnipflower buckwheat (Eriogonum heracleoides), and Jessica sticktight (Hackelia micrantha). The abundance and diversity of native plants at all elevations in this region, which is off-limits to livestock grazing, provides yet another example of how excluding grazing by cows and sheep does not result in the development of a monoculture of something like crested wheatgrass (which occurs in this area but is not abundant).
Native, cool-season, perennial, loosely tufted, short-lived grass to 100 cm tall. Leaves typically have a half twist and the flag leaf sticks out at a right angle. Leaf sheaths are hairy and auricles are present. Flowerheads are spikes to 25 cm long. Spikelets are 6-12-flowered and not or little overlapping; their sides are against the stem. Lemmas have an awn which is 9-47 mm long and strongly curved when mature. Calluses are distinctly hairy. Flowers from late winter to late summer. A minor component in pastures, it grows on most soil types and is drought and frost tolerant. Native biodiversity. A variable species; plants on good soils produce high quality, palatable green feed in the cooler months, but plants on shallower soils tend to have harsher leaves and produce little feed. Generally only a short lived plant, but can recruit well from seed. Responds positively to fertiliser. Often preferentially grazed, but is avoided after it runs to head. Rotationally graze or provide strategic rests in late spring to aid persistence.

Time it takes to grow a pot of wheatgrass: 9 days.
Time it takes to eat a 9 days worth of wheatgrass: 9 seconds.
When Charles Schnabel and a team of scientists discovered the incredible nutrition in dehydrated whole food wheat grass in 1935, they insisted that the product be packaged in amber glass bottles with an inert atmosphere containing no oxygen. With the oxygen removed, nutrients are protected against oxidation and loss of potency. Despite any claims to the contrary, plastic cannot hold an oxygen-free environment. At a molecular level, oxygen can easily pass through plastic, but cannot pass through glass.
Only Pines still grows wheatgrass in the same location as Schnabel and is the only company to use amber glass bottles with the oxygen removed as the research indicated. The difference in color between wheatgrass in glass and plastic above is obvious. Pines wheatgrass is on the right, and a typical wheatgrass powder in plastic is on the left. The darker and richer the green of a food, the more nutrition that is in it. Oxidation slowly turns a dark green food from vibrant green to dull grey or brown. The darker green the wheatgrass, the more chlorophyll, vitamins, phytonutrients, and enzymes and the higher the ORAC rating (please see previous slide).
Only a glass bottle with a metal cap and a specially-designed seal can hold an oxygen-free atmosphere. Although plastic looks impermeable, it is not. If you look at plastic under an electron microscope, the space between molecules is wide enough for the easy transfer of oxygen into the bottle from the outside air. Filling a plastic bottle, bag or sack with an inert atmosphere of nitrogen sounds good but unless the walls of the container are steel or glass, the atmosphere between the inside and outside of the container quickly and easily mix.
Further, plastic is a petrochemical. Supporting the petrochemical industry perpetuates our dependence on fossil fuels. Packaging in plastic shows disrespect for a wonderful food like wheatgrass. The measurable loss of nutrients through oxidation shows disrespect for your body.
Paying a little less for plastic over glass is false economy. The plastic bottle on the left was produced a year after the Pines product on the right, but yet the color of the wheatgrass in the plastic bottle is grey while Pines Wheat Grass is still just as dark green as the day it was harvested. When cost is measured on the basis of nutrition per dollar, Pines Wheat Grass beats all the competition hands down.

The area surrounding the northwestern entrance to Yellowstone National Park south of Gardiner, Montana, was once dominated by crested wheatgrass, Agropyron cristatum. Apparent application of herbicide and other measures to remove crested wheatgrass has resulted in the replacement with desert alyssum (Alyssum desertorum), annual wheatgrass (Eremopyrum triticeum), Russian wildrye (Elymus junceus), kochia (Kochia scoparia), and Russian thistle (Salsola tragus), to name but a few dominant exotic plant species that form nearly 100% plant cover in this entire area (Opuntia polyacantha appears to be the only native species in this converted area). Doing something rather than nothing most often results in a needless expense of time and money when it comes to managing plant diversity and plant communities.
With all the juicers on the market today, not all are built with the function of a Wheatgrass Juicer. These types of juicers are special because wheatgrass is an extremely fibrous material that not all traditional juicers can handle. Find an amazing selection of these wheatgrass juicer at 877MyJuicer and you will not be disappointed!

Planted as a putative fire-resistance greenstrip, dense stands of Agropyron cristatum along highways burn as readily as overgrazed sagebrush but probably not as readily as sagebrush steppe with high native plant cover, the latter of which is common in adjacent lands.
The mountain big sagebrush steppe in this area can sometimes be very short statured and expansive (similar to wyoming big sagebrush steppe). Although Bromus tectorum can be abundant along the road, this annual exotic rarely if ever found out in the sagebrush steppe of this area.
Agropyron spicatum is the most abundant bunchgrass in this scene and dominates this area of Montana where it has not been replaced by the likes of Bromus japonicus and Bromus tectorum, Agropyron cristatum, or Tragopodon dubius. The other dominant is Stipa comata. Native warm season grasses are present but not dominant overall. Rhus aromatica (R. trilobata) is the shrub at center. Artemisia tridentata is common in areas surrounding this site.
Where the sagebrush steppe in this area has been degraded by use as pasture, exotic grasses such as Poa bulbosa, Agropyron cristatum, Agropyron intermedium, and Agropyron trachycaulum are common but Bromus tectorum is not, even though it is along the adjacent roadsides.
Studies indicate that nearly 90% in today's society do not eat enough deep green, leafy vegetables. These foods are shown to be essential for maintaining good health and protection from degenerative disease.
Because consuming three or more servings of dark green leafy veggies such as kale or spinach is often difficult, Pines International introduced the world's first dehydrated #GreenSuperfood in natural food stores 40 years ago, Since 1976, Pines' message has been to eat more greens using the naturally high nutrient concentration of #organic wheatgrass for a convenient and economical way to increase your daily intake of dark green leafy vegetables. Seven Pines Wheat Brass tablets or one rounded teaspoon of powder supply as much nutrition as a large spinach or kale salad.
Certainly, you should eat plenty of spinach, kale and other dark green leafy vegetables. but to make sure you receive your three or more servings, include #PinesWheatGrass. It provides the kind of chlorophyll-rich wholefood vegetable nutrition and fiber that promote #probiotic bacteria and healthy colon function. If you don't use the tablets, you can mix the powder in an infinite number of recipes, including #smoothies, #juice or water. If you need a sweeter mixture, try #MightyGreens from Pines, which contains stevia, or if you prefer capsules over tablets, try #GreenDuo. All are naturally-concentrated sources of the dark green leafy vegetables often missing from today's diets.
As the original #wheatgrass company, Pines is the only one that grows, harvests and packages in accordance with the standards established in research promoted by Ann Wigmore in her books and by many other authors. In fact, Pines still grows on some of the same fields used by the scientiststo produce the #wheatgrasspowder for in that extensive body of research.
Pines also the only company that follows the 80-year old packaging standard of amber glass bottles with special metal caps so the company can remove the oxygen and prevent the devitalization and loss of color and nutrition that occurs with plastic tubs and paper packets.
Pines is available at leading stores or on line. Both their store locator and shopping cart are at wheatgrass.com. This Valentine Day, give the gift that truly says, "I LOVE YOU!"

The main highways in the Upper Snake River plains, including within the Idaho National Laboratory, are lined with crested wheatgrass green strips, such as here along Lincoln Blvd, about midway between the main north and south entrances, Butte County, Idaho. Undisturbed sagebrush steppe sits a couple of hundred meters away in the background. A mix of green strip and sagebrush steppe in-between suggests that sagebrush steppe can advance into the green strip in these setting where humans have little impact (e.g., no livestock grazing occurs in much of the lands administered by the Idaho National Laboratory. For example, native shrubs such as Artemisia tridentata, Chysothamnus viscidiflorus, and Grayia spinosa are common throughout the green strip but crested wheatgrass bunches are lacking from the adjacent sagebrush steppe.

Over the course of a short week, our wheatgrass went from seeds to a full on mini-garden that we're needing to trim every few days. It's remarkable and such a welcome sign of spring in the apartment.

Intermediate wheatgrass can form diffuse rhizomatous stands or the stems can be bunched with not many rhizomes. This supposedly distinguished Agropyron intermedium from Agropyron elongatum, but the covariation of such growth habit and other diagnostic traits is not evident. The ends of the spectrum of this growth habit are continuous. This site lies along the Highland Glen trail system near East Kagy Blvd, Bozeman, Gallatin County, Montana.
Where the sagebrush steppe in this area has been degraded by use as pasture, exotic grasses such as Poa bulbosa, Agropyron cristatum, Agropyron intermedium, and Agropyron trachycaulum are common but Bromus tectorum is not, even though it is along the adjacent roadsides.
'Introduced from Eurasia. Abundant. Each plant has thousands of fibrous roots extending to depths of 4m, totalling in excess of 5km, depriving native plants of moisture and ultimately nutrients; a serious threat to our native biodiversity. Stems, densely tufted, 3-4dm tall. Leaves, blades, 2-4mm wide. Flowers, spike oblong-oval; arranged in flattened comb-like cluster, 4-7cm long, 1.5-2.5cm broad; ......... Habitat: roadsides, disturbed areas." From talkaboutwildlife.ca.
"In Alberta, Crested wheatgrass is an extremely competitive grass species that has the ability to out compete many of our native grass species, and as such is threatening the biodiversity of our prairie ecosystem."

The perennial bunched habit of Agropyron cristatum is evident as summer progresses and surrounding forb and other grass species are grazed and browsed leaving the silica-rich unpalatable created wheatgrass standing tall. This site lies along the ridgeline at the north end of Burke Park, Bozeman, Gallatin County, Montana.

Salina, Kansas.
Had to take a break from driving. This wheatgrass is what I saw for an entire ten hours driving. I was happy when I could go "we're not in Kansas anymore" =>
Taproot of sainfoin planted as part of perennial mix for monoculture conversion from crested wheatgrass. Sterling Ballbach chose to participate in the North Stillwater County Pasture Monoculture Diversification Targeted Implementation Plan, developed by the NRCS field office in Columbus based on local priorities. The purpose of the TIP is to renovate the monoculture pastures to a diverse mix of plants that allows for different season of use on these pastures. This option facilitates a grazing plan with more management options that helps to improve the health of native rangeland units. Ballbach property, Stillwater County, MT. July 2021

Stipa comata var. comata, needle and thread grass, is abundant around and on top of the Chalk Buttes southwest of Ekalaka, Montana. It co-dominates open arid grasslands along with thickspike wheatgrass, bluebunch wheatgrass, little bluestem, prairie sand reed, and prairie Junegrass. The grass communities in the open understory of the Chalk Buttes are in good condition in terms of high native plant diversity and low exotic plant diversity.
