Grazing of riparian forage by livestock may alter stream channel morphology in ways that impact nearby aquatic habitat, bank stability, vegetative cover and water quality. A number of grazing management practices have been proposed as a means to reduce the amount of time cattle spend in the riparian zone. The...

There is growing concern among producers regarding the sustainability of current dryland winter wheat cropping practices. This study looks at the economic viability of three wheat rotations currently being studied at the Columbia Basin Research Center in Pendleton, Oregon, including W IF and two alternative rotations, W/B/F and C/W/F. The...
Traditional season-long livestock grazing strategy on western riparian areas
has been identified as one of the factors affecting rangeland productivity as well
as wildlife habitat in riparian zones. As alternatives to summer season-long
grazing, summer short-duration grazing (without haying), and fall short-duration
grazing (following haying), were considered in this study...
The impact of recent severe droughts throughout the United States, the potential for climate change to intensify the frequency and severity of drought, and discussion about the future of government assistance in agriculture highlight the need for a transition from drought as ‘disaster’ to drought as ‘managed risk’. However, guidance...
