Livestock Grazing for Wildfire Reduction: New Strategy for Farmers

Citizens, especially farmers with federal grazing permits, could see new opportunities and flexibility in managing their herds, potentially impacting their businesses and local community safety.
Key points
Increased Grazing Flexibility: Allows grazing on vacant allotments during drought or wildfires, helping livestock management and reducing fire hazards.
New Fire Prevention Methods: Promotes targeted grazing to reduce flammable vegetation and invasive grasses, potentially slowing fire spread.
Post-Fire Recovery Support: Utilizes grazing as a strategy for post-fire recovery and restoration, aiding environmental regeneration.
