Grazing control is a basic prac
tice in any successful effort to con
trol erosion on range or pasture
land*.
Light grazing promotes a vigorous
grass growth which helps to slow
up run-off, increases moisture pene
tration into the soil, and often pre
vent* gullying. Gras* eaten down
to the surface of the ground doe*
not have a chance to maintain a
vigorous root system and thin* out
quicker under drouth condition*.
Whether it is gullying, sheet ero
sion, or wind erosion that has been
affecting the land, it Is practically
always aggravated by close, heavy
grazing.
Contour furrows, gully control
check dams, and shrub and tree
plantings in gullied areas are good
erosion control practice* in many
1 Instances, but their value is prac
tically always Increased by proper
grazing management. The use of
temporary supplementary pasture*
■ such as Sudan grass, sweet clover,
' and other adapted grazing plants is
recommended as a means of light
ening the grazing load on the na
tive pastures.
Lands that have been retired from
cultivation and are being regrassed
should be completely protected
from grazing until the grass stands
become firmly established, after
which they can serve as additional
I pasture.
