Government to raise federal grazing fees to $1.89 per AUM
A study on grazing livestock on federal lands notes Interior and Agriculture Secretaries Andrus and Bergland will raise the Forest Service and BLM grazing fee to $1.89 per animal unit month for the 1978 season starting March 1. The decision aims to set fair market value though critics call it a concession to livestock interests.

McKay seeks to halt 1978 grazing fee hike in Utah
Utah Congressman Guin McKay backs legislation to stop the Interior Department 1978 grazing fee increase and plans to testify in hearings this week. He argues higher fees would devastate cattle and sheep producers already facing scarce forage and water, calling for a formula that accounts for higher livestock costs on BLM lands. He warns prices could rise 100 percent over the next years.
