Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture has unveiled a proposal that would make significant changes to grazing regulations on national forest lands. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says the plan would streamline the permitting process by extending livestock grazing permits from one year to five years. The proposal is being developed in partnership with the Department of the Interior and would also revise grazing fees and expand stewardship opportunities for permit holders. New Mexico cattle producers have expressed support for the changes.
