Trump Administration Rolls Back Biden-Era Grazing Rule

Public lands advocates say the repeal could ease regulatory pressure on ranchers.

WASHINGTON (RFD NEWS) — The Trump administration is rescinding a Biden-era public lands grazing rule, restoring a multiple-use mandate.

Kaitlynn Glover with the Public Lands Council and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association joined Friday’s Market Day Report to discuss the background behind the rule and the controversy surrounding its finalization under the Biden administration.

During the interview, Glover also discussed what the repeal of the rule could mean for public lands ranchers and spoke about the benefits of managed grazing on public lands landscapes.

In her conversation with RFD News, Glover additionally highlighted industry efforts to repeal the Public Lands Rule following its finalization in 2024 and discussed the regulatory relief ranchers hope could follow.
