Body
Various types of range improvements such as seeding of crested wheatgrass were extensively used during the period 1955-1970. Since 1970 the number of improvements implemented has declined dramatically. Reasons for this decline are suggested. Studies that have estimated the benefits and costs of seeding an area to crested wheatgrass indicate tha the economic value of this range improvment practice is variable, ranging from very profitable to very costly. Reasons why the "payoff" for seedings are variable are reviewed and evaluated.
