Over 100 Idaho ranchers engage in range monitoring
Life on the Range. A new five-way partnership provides training to ranchers and agency officials for the proper way to do range monitoring, and specifies the key BLM protocols to follow. The Idaho State Department of Agriculture and BLM worked out the details on the monitoring protocols, ensuring that the data collected will become part of the BLM grazing allotment files. Also helping with the program are the University of Idaho Extension Service, University of Idaho Rangeland Center and the Idaho Rangeland Resource Commission.
