[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1849797, member: 18945"] My 'guess', since he's from Central Florida, is to retain moisture instead of it just running right down thru that sugar sand Florida is so famous for. The sodium Polycrylate does suck up water like crazy but also weeps it back out, (due to gravity) very slowly. The tiny roots in forage grasses also have the ability to pull it straight from the polymer, but, from everything I've seen about it, cost would be a big no no for the average rancher/farmer.
