1. grazing fees are paid to the federal agency
When ranchers pay their federal grazing fees, that money doesn't disappear into a general fund. A portion of it is returned to Nevada specifically to support the rangelands where those cattle graze. Here's how it works:
how we are funded
2. a share of those funds comes back to the nevada treasury
3. the state treasury turns the money over to the county treasurer's earmarked for rangeland improvement fund.
4. grazing boards decide how the funds are used and request funds from those county coffers.
The grazing district lines don't follow the county lines, so you may have to take a look at the map below.
