Eight North Dakota agricultural organizations are asking Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue to reconsider a decision to not adjust prevent plant haying and grazing dates. This would relieve pressure for farmers and ranchers holding animals due to a backlog at processing plants, guaranteeing another source of feed for livestock. A letter was sent on Thursday from the North Dakota Stockmen’s Association, North Dakota Grain Growers Association, North Dakota Farmers Union and others reiterating a request to allow farmers to graze or harvest cover crops on prevent plant acres prior to November 1.
