Conservation of Private Grazing Land
The Conservation of Private Grazing Land (CPGL) initiative will ensure that
technical, educational, and related assistance is provided to those who own
private grazing lands. It is not a cost share program. This technical assistance
will offer opportunities for: better grazing land management; protecting soil
from erosive wind and water; using more energy-efficient ways to produce food
and fiber; conserving water; providing habitat for wildlife; sustaining forage
and grazing plants; using plants to sequester greenhouse gases and increase soil
organic matter; and using grazing lands as a source of biomass energy and raw
materials for industrial products.
Conservation of Private Grazing Land Program was authorized by the conservation
provisions of the Federal Agricultural Improvement and Reform Act (1996 Farm
Bill). The intent of this provision is to provide accelerated technical
assistance to owners and managers of grazing land. The purpose is to provide a
coordinated technical program to conserve and enhance grazing land resources
and provide related benefits to all citizens of the United States. Currently,
funds have not been appropriated for this program.
