Summit to Salish Sea: Inquiries and Essays

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Rangelands account for about half of Nebraska's total land area or about 24 million acres. Much of these expansive natural resource areas are in the semi-arid climatic region of Nebraska where grazing management decisions have a profound effect on ranch survival.
