Bill giving ranchers more authority to improve Idaho’s rangeland advances to Senate
March 10, 2024
IDAHO FALLS — A bill aimed at increasing the authority of local farmers and ranchers to improve range land across the state is heading to the Senate floor soon.
Rep. Jerald Raymond, R-Menan, the bill’s sponsor, says this legislation builds upon the Taylor Grazing Act passed by Congress in 1934. The measure established grazing rights for livestock ranchers across the U.S. and gave authority to the federal government to manage it.
