640 Acre Stock Raising Law Sparks Heavy Filings Statewide
Heavy filings surge under the new 640 acre stock raising law as Idaho land offices report strong interest. The act favors grazing over cultivation, requiring permanent improvements of at least 1.25 dollars per acre and allowing additional contiguous entries up to 640 acres. It preserves government minerals, coal rights, and public water access while offering preferential filing rights to current homesteaders within 20 miles of existing holdings.
