Question 4 • Career Explorations II

Which option distinguishes the governmental agency in charge of the aspect of farming described in the following scenario? A rancher in Wyoming wishes to increase the number of cattle in his herd, but he owns too little pastureland. He would like to graze his new cattle on the adjacent federal rangeland.

Answer
A
Food and Drug Administration
B
Bureau of Land Management
C
United States Department of Agriculture
D
Environmental Protection Agency

Explanation

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages many federal public rangelands and issues permits for livestock grazing on them. Since the rancher wants to graze cattle on adjacent federal rangeland, the BLM is the agency responsible. The USDA oversees many agricultural programs, but it does not manage most BLM public lands.
