CAFB Submits Comments on Bureau of Land Management's Proposed Grazing Regulation
Published Friday, July 17, 2026
California Farm Bureau submitted comments on the Bureau of Land Management’s proposed revisions to its federal grazing regulations. The proposal is intended to modernize grazing administration and improve land health management while reflecting current grazing practices and on-the-ground management needs.
California Farm Bureau generally supports the proposed rule and its effort to update decades-old regulations. In its comments, Farm Bureau recommended several targeted improvements, including clarifying key definitions, refining programmatic language to reduce ambiguity, and ensuring the regulations can be implemented consistently and effectively.
Farm Bureau also emphasized the important role public lands grazing permittees play in producing food and fiber, maintaining healthy working landscapes, and reducing wildfire risk through vegetation management. The organization encouraged BLM to adopt regulations that support both sound land stewardship and the long-term viability of livestock grazing on public lands.
