Eastern Oregon . cattle
ranchers, hard hit by last
year's drought, will be asked
how they dealt with the crisis
in an Oregon State University
survey to be mailed this week.
"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."

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. In the
southcentral areas of Kla
math, Crook and portions of
Lake and Deschutes counties.

cattlemen surveyed on last year's drought

Working with Hoist on the
project are Gene Nelson, OSU
Extension farm management
specialist, and Ed Schmisseur
and Gordon Sitton, professors
of agricultural and resourse
economics. The OSU Exten
sion Service and Agricultural
Experiment Station are
jointly supporting the project.

Sneva said precipitation in
May was least in the north

northern Malheur and eastern
Grant counties), where the
estimate went from 166 to 147
per cent of normal.

"We need a large number of

"With a good return rate we
should uncover some of the
innovative ways ranchers
dealt with the drought."
Nelson also believes the
