A PLANNING CONCEPT
THAT EMPHASIZES
MULTIPLE RESOURCE
MANAGEMENT
In recent years a new
concept in ranch planning has'
Deen developed and put to use
in Oregon called coordinated
planning. In the past ranchers
whose operation included the
use of some public land for
grazing had little input in the
management guidelines for
the public part of their opera
tion. Also, their private opera
tions were planned without
consideration for the public
land other than dates of entry
and exit.
Now, thanks to a growing
awareness of total or multiple
resource management, ran
chers can coordinate their
whole operation into one plan.
Ranchers, with the assistance
of the SCS, can meet with
public land administrators,
U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of
Land Management, and coor
dinate their planning effort for
the mutual benefit of all land
involved. Attendance at these
meetings is open to any
interested parties or agencies
and is requested for such
agencies as the Oregon De
partment of Fish and Wildlife.
The input from these sources
builds a plan which results in a
grazing system and stocking
rates adapted to benefit both
public and private lands.
During these meetings, care
ful consideration is given to
the multiple use aspects of the
land involved. Planning is
done not only for the forage
resource but with equal con
sideration for timber mana
gement, recreation, wildlife
management and any other
aspect of land use, either
current or potential which is
involved.
