vice iinwldent of the Oregon
Finn Hureau federation, has
churned.
Nelson xtiUl thut the recent
Btinouixi-rnent of the grazing
f.-c li' -reuses for public land
administered ly the U. S. Do
iarlmeiit of the Interior's BLM
j,nil the U. S. Department of Ak
rleulture's Forest Service ha
come as a Mow to Farm Bureau
members und others who had
wanted Congressional action on
the report of the Public Land
Law Review commission before
there was any grazing fee ad
justment. Nelson quoted the two agen
cies as saying In their Joint an
iHiunccmerit that It was their
feeling the increment la within
the concept of the PLLRCs re
Mirt of moving grazing fees to
ward "fair market value." How
ever, Nelson said, "Wo think the
agencies are interpreting the
report out of context the l'LLRC
recommendation states: 'Fair
market value, taking into con
sideration factors in each area
of the lands Involved, should be
established by law as a basta
for grazing fees . . When
market and other conditions in
the vicinity of permitted lands
ore taken into consideration for
each permit, grazing fees will
vary based on conditions in each
permit area.'
'The Farm Bureau favors this
concept of flexibility in fees be
cause it is unrealistic to charge
the same fee without consider
ation of variances in operating
and economic situations or dif
ferences In the quality of pub
lic range land and forago yield;
yet the fee schedules used for
lands under the Jurisdiction of
the BLM have always been for
a uniform, universal fee."
Fees Up
The fee increase is the first
since a one-year moratorium
placed on fee Increases to al
low lime to review recommen
dations of the rubllc Land Law
Review commission. Most stock
men using lands administered
by the BLM In 1971 will pay
64 cents to craze one cow or

past two years. This rata Bp
plies to eastern Oregon, Wash
ington and other western atates.
New fees on western Oregon
lands administered by the BLM
will be 88 cents per animal un
it month (AUM) compared to
C3 cents previously.
Fees for public lands admin
istered by the BLM inside graz
ing districts consist of a 43-cent
basic grazing fee and a 21-cent
range improvement fee, for a
total of Gl cents. Outside of
grazing districts in eastern
Oregon and Washington, the
basic grazing fee Is 48 cents
with 16 cents allocated toward
range Improvements for a total
of 01 cents per AUM.
The annual Increase in fees
for public land use U 9 cents
for BLM lands and 7 cents for
Forest Service lands. However,
both agencies are increasing
fi.es an additional 11 cents to
reflect market increases in for

Nelson continued. "The agen
cles in their news releases state
their intention of proceeding
through the lull lu annual in
crcments of increase, plus ad
ditional increases, thus effect
ively decapitalizing the ranch
ers borrowing value In the graz
in a nermlL Yet ranchers provld
the largest share of hard work
that goes into the management
and maintenance of proper eco
logical balance on these public
lands, and if livestock is re
moved, fur-reaching problems
are created, such as the rapid
growth of thickets that are us
able even by game animals."
Writs Congressmen
"The cumulative efforts of all
those concerned with the live
stock industry in the United
States in resisting fee increases
have obviously not been good
enough," Nelson observed, "so
we are asking our members to
write to their Congressmen seek
ing postponement of the in
crease which would go into ef-
ceiving word of the serious con
dition of Mrs. Slinkard and Mrs.
Rice's mother, Mrs. G. L. Oyler.
