If the range vegetation is seriously deteriorated, seeding is needed. <br />• Suitable seeding mixtures can include crested wheatgrass, bluebunch <br />wheatgrass, and western wheatgrass. There may be some difficulty in <br />obtaining seed for some or all of these species. Successful seedings can be <br />expected only in years of above normal precipitation. Seeding late in fall <br />helps to insure that the content of moisture in the soil will be adequate <br />for the establishment of seedlings next spring. For successful seedings, a <br />seedbed should be prepared and the seeds drilled. The plants selected for <br />seeding should meet the seasonal requirements of livestock of wildlife, or <br />both. <br />Brush management Improves deteriorated areas of range that are producing <br />more woody shrubs than were present in the potential plant community. <br />Aa~agement practices suitable for use on this unit are proper grazing <br />• use and a planned grazing system.
