Final Methods
Approximately 60 acres of private land was drill seeded using two rangeland drills, connected by a drill cart, and pulled by bulldozer (see pictures for a visual of the drill cart setup and dozer). The bulldozer was acquired by the landowner. The seed mix was purchased through the GBRC and was a combination of grasses and forbs recommended by the NRCS Range Conservationist and seeded at the rate of 12.21 bulk lbs/acre. The seed was applied throughout the month of February 2023.

Project Narrative
UDWR and NRCS worked together with the private landowner to complete the project. The goal of the project was to increase grasses and forbs for livestock and wildlife, primarily pronghorn and mule deer. GBRC staff delivered and setup the rangeland drills in January of 2023. The landowner was able to get a dozer in February of 2023 and started drilling seed February 3, 2023. There were several delays to the project including, a flat tire on the drill cart, a worn-out chain guide and wet, snowy weather. The seeding was completed February 28, 2023.

Future Management
Seeding will be rested for 2 growing season as per NRCS contract requirements. A grazing management plan has been provide and as a recommendation for the landowner.
