Grazing Fee Hike Remains While Suit Is Heard
A U S District Court in Albuquerque denied a preliminary injunction to delay grazing fee increases on federal lands. Judge Howard Bratton allowed the higher fees for Forest Service and Interior Department lands to stand during class-action suits led by Pankey Land and Cattle Co. Hearing March 17 will proceed without delay. The six witnesses argued the raise would push many cattlemen out of business as fees rise from 33 to 44 cents per animal unit month this year, with further increases planned to reach 1.23 dollars over 10 years.
