Feds deny North Dakota request for early haying of CRP land
July 24, 2021 GMT
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) The federal government has denied a request by North Dakota leaders to allow ranchers struggling with drought to hay idled grassland while it’s still of good quality.
The Bismarck Tribune reports the state Agriculture Department is looking into the reasons why the request was denied.
The federal government is allowing limited emergency grazing of Conservation Reserve Program land, which typically is idled under a government program that pays farmers to protect erodible land and create wildlife habitat. North Dakota ranchers all summer have been seeking federal government permission to also hay that land.
