Ranchers Turn Brushland To Grass In Starr County
Starr County ranchers replace mesquite and cactus with blue panic and buffel grass to boost cattle carrying capacity. Modern tractors with brush rakes clear land, government pays half clearing and seeding costs, and advised idle periods protect new grass. Local leaders report 90 to 180 day deferment recommended, with many ranchers seeing profitable returns as grass re-seeds itself.
