"While Congressman Smith's Forage Improvement Act does not include all 18 priorities developed by western states ranchers," said Skinner, "it focuses on achieving realistic goals based in sound, verifiable science. This is a concept which we all should be able to agree upon.” Paper LIMIT 2 Less M ail-In R ebate A bill to codify a number of federal grazing regulations would bring a measure of stability to Oregon federal-land ranchers, the Oregon Cattlemen's Association (OCA) has said. The bill is a first step toward resolving many long-standing issues surrounding grazing on federal lands. According to Bob Skinner, Oregon Cattlemen's Association Public Lands Committee chairman, "The Forage Improvement Act of 1997 is the first step in attaining the stability needed for federal-land ranchers to maintain their family operations, continue to preserve open space and to sustain a rural economy." The forage Improvement Act of 1997, introduced by Representative Bob Smith, House Agriculture Committee chairman, addresses seven of the 18 priorities developed by federal lands ranchers across the west at a meeting earlier this year. According to the OCA the bill would: implement a codified, equitable grazing fee based on fair market values; prohibit the agencies from forcing access to private property as a condition of permit renewal; codify and improve Resource Advisory Councils; clarify the definitions of "cooperation, coordination and consultation, which have no statutory definitions; protect tenure by maintaining renewable 10-year terms for permits and leases; clarify the circumstances under which subleases will be subject to a surcharge; and apply Kay Proctor honored by OSU Extension Kay Proctor, second from right, along with front row-children Josie (left), Roy and Julie, and Extension home economist Carol Michael (right); back (L-R)-Sonja McCabe, and Christy Lovgren, with the Exten sion Service, parents Walter and Lucille Kostechka , Kathryn Kettel and Bill Broderick, Extension agents.
