Reseeding of spring ranges, development of wet meadows, and direct income transfers were compared as potential methods for maintaining financially marginal ranching units. Selection of the most appropriate method varied with decision-making levels, as society, governmental agencies, and individual firms all possess different evaluative criteria.
