The following information was released by New Mexico Senator Tom Udall:
U.S. Senators Jeff Bingaman and Tom Udall today announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has approved an emergency application that allows ranchers from Curry County to graze their livestock on federal lands not typically used for grazing. The senators wrote a letter of support for the application.
Due to severe drought and wildfires, there is little forage available for livestock grazing. As a result, Bingaman and Udall wrote to Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack urging him to quickly approve a request to allow ranchers from the following counties to graze their livestock on Conservation Reserve Lands: Colfax, Union, Harding, Quay, Guadalupe, De Baca, Curry, Roosevelt, Lea, Torrance and Santa Fe. So far, USDA has granted approval for 154,685 acres in Curry County, but the senators are hopeful approval for the other counties will be forthcoming...more or see Udall's press release here.
Even when he's trying to do right (which isn't very often), Little Tommy You-Dull just can't get it accurate.

You-Dull has always had a hard time distinguishing between private property and federal lands. You see CRP lands are private lands that are enrolled in a federal program, they are not federal lands.
Someone please explain to You-Dull that just because I'm enrolled in the Social Security program that doesn't make my house federal property.
Poor Little Tommy You-Dull. Every time I look at him all I see is dark at the end of the tunnel.
