Varying Conditions: AgriLife Extension Specialist is trying to remain hopeful about Texas rangelands

Rangeland conditions across Texas vary as the eastern portion of the state deals with an abundance of rain and western portions remain dry.

An AgriLife Extension Specialist is trying to remain hopeful but is also encouraging producers to plan for worse conditions as we shift to La Niña late this summer.
Morgan Treadwell says relieving grazing pressure could be useful in maintaining rangeland health.

She says that producers in drought areas should consider the number of animals in their herd and really start to think about reducing stocking rates.
