USDA Steps Up Support for Ranchers with New Directive to Restore National Forest Grazing
· Texas Border Business
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins has announced a new directive aimed at enhancing support for ranchers by restoring grazing on national forest lands. This initiative is part of the USDA's efforts to implement the Grazing Action Plan and strengthen American ranching. The directive emphasizes the importance of grazing for rural economies and food security, while also addressing bureaucratic challenges that have hindered ranchers. Key actions include expanding access to closed allotments, streamlining permitting processes, and improving communication with ranchers. This move is expected to benefit approximately 23,000 permit holders who depend on public rangelands.
