Support expanding grazing access on Forest Service lands

Hoeven supports the Trump administration’s proposed Rangeland Management Rule to expand livestock grazing access on U.S. Forest Service lands, including North Dakota’s national grasslands. The proposal would align permit eligibility and rules with the Bureau of Land Management, create targeted, outcome-based grazing authorizations, put vacant allotments to productive use, expand permit opportunities for beginning ranchers, and allow livestock-use permits of up to five years with flexibility for temporary use. Hoeven says the changes are intended to support livestock producers and help manage grass buildup and wildfire risk.

Context: The administration’s rule is a proposal, not an enacted policy.

In their own words

The new Rangeland Management Rule is a good step by the U.S. Forest Service to be a better partner to our livestock producers
