Grazing permission extended

Posted: Updated:

The US Department of Agriculture is trying to help area ranchers affected by the current drought by allowing extended grazing on land set aside for conservation.

The government gives ranchers in The Conservation Reserve Program rental payments for setting aside land for conservation, but officials can authorize emergency grazing there after natural disasters.

Typically emergency grazing runs through the end of September.

But this year, people approved for emergency grazing in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, along with Colorado and Kansas can do so through October 31st without extra reductions in their rental payments.
