From Agropastoralism to Sustained Yield Forestry: Industrial Restructuring, Rural Change, and the Land-grant Commons in Northern New Mexico
نویسنده
چکیده
In 1948 the United States Forest Service drastically reduced grazing permits for the El Rito Ranger District in the Carson National Forest in Rio Arriba County, New Mexico. The decision was based on a 1947 case study in which local forest rangers claimed that smallholder Hispano ranchers “caused surrounding national forest ranges to become depleted of vegetative cover to such an extent that a reduction in permitted grazing use is necessary.” The district proposed to remedy the economic hardship anticipated by the “stock reduction program” by increasing timber-related jobs through the creation of a special sustained yield timber production unit.
