This form is copied <br />from the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, National Range <br />& Pasture Handbook 1997. This worksheet serves as a guide for the <br />irrigated pasture sections of the permit for grazing and gives a general idea <br />of what forage is available. The properties are reviewed while grazing <br />activities are in progress. During the grazing operation a visual <br />determination is then made with the bovine owner, farm contractor, and or <br />New Horizon mine personnel to make sure the properties are being grazed <br />for maximum efficiency while minimizing damage to the fields.
