"The survey results should give us a good idea how ranchers manage their opera tions in a drought year compared to a normal year," explained David Hoist, OSU Extension farm management assistant. "We hope these findings can help ranchers make better management de cisions in future drought years." Hoist and his colleagues will Range forecast good despite light precipitation in May Range forage outlook in eastern Oregon continues to be good despite light May precipitation, a researacher at the Eastern Oregon Agri cultural Research Center in Burns said. Forrest Sneva, U.S. Depart ment of Agriculture research rangeland scientist, said sub normal precipitation at most eastern Oregon locations re duced the range forage out look from an average of 147 to 138 per cent of normal. "Lower than average amounts in June could reduce the outlook further, but the major impact would be to cause range plants to dry and cure more rapidly," Sneva said. "That would make for a longer fire season and greater demand on stockwater sup ply." In the northwest section (Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, Jefferson and northern De schutes counties),, the esti mates were reduced from 138 to 135 per cent.
