Official State Soil: Mivida
March 27th

Mivida soils support semi-arid desert and grassland ecosystems. They are perfect for plants such as Wyoming big sagebrush, blue grama grass, and Indian ricegrass, as well as many mammals, reptiles, insects, and microbes. Mivida soils are used as rangelands to graze cattle and for recreation. When irrigated, they can grow alfalfa and small grain crops.
