Selenium is washed out of the soil by rainfall. Low rainfall places should
have selenium. As I remember, the California Central Valley had some
selenium disasters relating to agricultural run-off being pumped into
sloughs where the water evaporated, thus concentrating the selenium and
causing waterfowl deaths. When I lived in coastal British Columbia the hay
from the dry interior farming areas (irrigated alfalfa) was considered to be
a solution to the deficiency. So you did not have to worry if you fed
interior, as opposed to coastal hay.
