In this case I'd cut the forest service some slack. We flew over AZ and NM in June. The difference this year from last was astonishing and scary. It really is incredibly bad. The restrictions seem reasonable to me until the rainfall situation improves. I understand the monsoons have started, though, at least in northern NM. That should help.

The restrictions may be reasonable or even necessary but the ranches will still be gone.

I know a lot of ranchers and NONE of them will overgraze pasture land BECAUSE it hurts next years growth. They MUST think ahead if they want to stay in business.
