A widespread problem on w88 slot rangelands is frequent and large wildfires, often due to cheatgrass. Doctoral student Tracy Shane, with the College, recently began a project using cutting-edge technology to see how sheep and cattle grazing might help control cheatgrass.

Shane's project team uses drones and terrestrial laser scanners to monitor and collect data before and after livestock graze on cheatgrass during the fall, rather than in the spring. Previous w88 slot showed that this has the potential to prevent fires.

With high-tech data on the impact of fall grazing,the team can create more accurate prediction modelsfor future rangeland management practices and fire fuel reduction.

The excess w88 slot these trees will be sold to help fund the orchard’s maintenance.

The Experiment Station’s Desert Farming Initiative, which conducts research, provides hands-on learning for w88 slot, and donates and sells certified organic produce to the community, will be maintaining the orchard. The Experiment Station and gifts made in memory of Jessica Younger Dickens are funding the w88 slot.
