S igned: M orrow C ounty Commissioners Published: April 6, 13 and 20, 2005 Judge rules on side of cattle ranchers Good news for the Oregon C attlem en’s A ssociation (OCA) who intervened on behalf o f cattle ranchers who have grazing permits on the Malheur National Forest. Judge Jones has essen tia lly ruled to dism iss the US Forest Service case on the Malheur National Forest (Oregon Natural Desert Association vs. Malheur National Forest). He asked the parties to work out a stipulated order, which is why this still appears somewhat tentative. However, he essentially ruled from the bench in favor o f the Forest Service and ranchers. The OCA had a tremendous amount o f support from the public in helping to defend public land gazing, including a recent donation from Northwest Farm Credit Services to the Malheur National Forest cases and a donation from the Jordan Valley Rodeo Association to the Southeast Oregon Resource Management Plan. “As a cooperative, we are keenly interested in legislative, regulatory and legal matters im pacting our banking operations, but more importantly, those which n egatively impact our custom er-ow ners. We believe the Malheur Wild and Scenic Rivers case has that potential,” said Thomas Tracy, E xecutive V ice President and General Counsel from Northwest Farm Credit Services. This decision is critical to all public land ranchers in Oregon. Questions have been raised in the federal court about how the Forest Service interprets fish monitoring data and how they measure grazing utilization described in their forest management plans. Oregon Natural Desert Association (ONDA) filed briefs stating the Malheur National Forest allotments are overgrazed and fish habitat has been degraded. ONDA claims livestock grazing is causing areas o f the allotments to change from forest to desert through the continued grazing o f plants and soil com paction from cattle hooves. There are claims that stream banks are sloughing and sedimentation is occurring everywhere livestock have access for crossing or watering. ONDA weaves a story about Forest Service making management decisions with little regard for the fragile environment and endangered fish. Cattlemen have heard these accusations often enough and now the courts are listening with the Murderers Creek and Malheur River permittees caught in the m iddle. ONDA’s claims have been countered by photos and hundreds o f sam ples submitted on behalf o f the grazers, which documents the facts about grazing riparian pastures w hile sustaining a balanced environment. The permittees are managing the livestock in ways that prom otes vegetation vigor and protects the stream and fish. The Oregon Cattlem en’s Association has intervened with a very strong defense against the outrageous claims. The final opinion will have significan t repercussions for all public land ranchers who have federal grazing permits. ONDA’s intent is to end public land grazing throughout Oregon using similar accusations across the landscape and agencies. ONDA has filed a similar case in the Freemont National Forest and has done an extensive request for information on the Wallowa Whitman National Forest. The resolution o f the Malheur River N ational Forest cases will have a huge impact on ONDA’s success in the other cases. Livestock producers must defend their livelihood in counties that benefit from livestock grazing on public lands and they must consider the seriousness o f future litigation that could take place within their borders. The Oregon Cattlemen are compiling information for Forest Service and BLM permittees that may be useful in documenting practices used during the 2005 grazing season.
