BIA forage project aids Navajo grazing districts
The Bureau of Indian Affairs along with the Western Navajo Agency implements Forage Reserve Blocks in five grazing districts. Natural Resources provides fencing materials seed and saltbush seedlings while coordinators require 90 percent labor from cooperators and weekly watering for a month after planting. A year or two may pass before grazing begins with controlled early hours to prevent overuse. The Cow Springs site in the Far family Navajo area uses eight acres cleared from a former cornfield, pending establishment of grasses and weed management. Interested parties should contact grazing committee members or the BIA at Tuba City Arizona.
