Ranching Support: Temporary Grazing During Natural Disasters
This act aims to assist ranchers with grazing permits when their current grazing lands become unusable due to natural disasters like droughts or wildfires. It allows ranchers to temporarily use vacant grazing allotments, helping them maintain their herds and operations. The act establishes rules and guidelines for making these lands available, providing flexibility in challenging circumstances.
Key points
Ranchers can temporarily use vacant grazing lands if their current allotments are unusable due to natural disasters (e.g., droughts, wildfires, infestations).
Terms for temporary grazing will be set individually, considering ecological conditions and prior agreements.
The act does not alter original grazing permit terms or the right to return to original allotments once restored.
Federal agencies have one year to establish detailed guidelines for efficient temporary allotment access.
