Pay Scale Ready in Fall for Range Grazing Reforms
The Agricultural Adjustment Administration plans a fall decision on a sliding acreage payment scale for range conservation in the West. The program would affect about 92 806 000 acres in West Texas and require coop eration from livestock producers and sheep and goat ranchers. Officials say the goal is to improve grazing resources, not reduce livestock, by adjusting load over years based on carrying capacity. Lamb crop outlook suggests a drop near 26 million due to weather, with Texas producing around 2.2 million in recent years.
