Excerpt from Forage Conditions and Problems in Eastern Washington, Eastern Oregon, North-Eastern California, and North-Western Nevada
It is noteworthy that the one factor which has contributed more than any other to the depletion of the ranges is the development of hay production on irrigated land in the range region. As long as stock was compelled to subsist the year round on the range, the limited supply of winter feed rendered it impossible to support enough stock to make serious inroads on the more abundant summer growth. The forage plants of the ranges were thus permitted to make seed. But with the advent of hay for winter feed the amount of stock that could be handled increased till in many places the summer growth on the range was entirely consumed, leaving no chance for the production of seed. As a result many thousands of acres of land that formerly fur nished abundant pasture are now devoid of any growth that stock will eat, while plants of no value and which are not disturbed by the graz ing stock have spread rapidly over these areas.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the challenges and transformations of rangeland management in the early 20th century American West, specifically focusing on eastern Washington, eastern Oregon, northeastern California, and northwestern Nevada. The author meticulously documents the shift from open-range grazing to more controlled practices, driven by factors such as the expansion of wheat cultivation and the potential implementation of lease laws. The narrative explores the ecological impact of overgrazing, particularly by sheep, on native grasses and the subsequent rise of less desirable plant species. It vividly portrays the delicate balance between livestock and the environment, highlighting the consequences of unsustainable land use. Central to the book's exploration is the changing landscape of the West, where traditional ranching practices clashed with emerging agricultural interests. The author's observations on the depletion of native grasses and the adaptation of grazing strategies provide valuable insights into the evolving dynamics of land management during a pivotal era. Ultimately, this book serves as a historical testament to the challenges and consequences of rangeland management in the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the complex interplay between human activities and the fragile ecosystems of the American West. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
