Purple needlegrass, buffalo grass, goldenrods, and clovers are among the producers in temperate grasslands, which have four distinct seasons. Due to the fact that they manufacture their own sustenance, these plants are known as producers.

Long-lasting and tall purple needlegrass serves as a source of food for both cattle and wildlife as well as preventing erosion and controlling levees. Buffalo grass grows 3 to 6 inches tall and needs little water. It grows most effectively in rocky limestone soil, well-drained clay, or loam soil. Aster plants include goldenrod. Their bright yellow blooms appear in late summer and early fall. The legume family includes bush clover and purple prairie clover. These plants add nitrogen, a nutrient that is essential for plants, to the soil.
