ATCP 50.80 ATCP 50.80 Prescribed grazing.

ATCP 50.80(1) (1) Definition. In this section, “prescribed grazing” or “rotational grazing” means a grazing system which divides pastures into multiple cells, each of which is grazed intensively for a short period and then protected from grazing until its vegetative cover is restored.

ATCP 50.80(2) (2) Eligible costs. A cost-share grant under s. ATCP 50.40 may reimburse the cost of replacing animal lots or pastures, establishing a prescribed grazing system on croplands, or improving an existing prescribed grazing system that contributes sediments, nutrients, or pesticides to a water resource. This may include any of the following costs:

ATCP 50.80(2)(a) (a) The cost to establish or repair livestock access lanes and stream crossings to prevent instability and erosion.

ATCP 50.80(2)(b) (b) The cost to establish permanent boundary and main paddock fences. This may include perimeter fencing, lane fencing, portable fencing, and gates.

ATCP 50.80(2)(c) (c) The cost to establish, or enhance through interseeding or weed management, good seeding stands for pasture and hayland planting.

ATCP 50.80(2)(d) (d) The cost to establish a livestock watering facility. This may include pipeline and pasture watering systems, wells, spring developments, winter watering facilities such as geothermal or heated jug, heavy use area protection, and portable watering systems such as pumps, pipes, and tanks.

ATCP 50.80(2)(e) (e) The costs for practices that would remediate streambank erosion and streambank habitat degradation.

ATCP 50.80(2)(f) (f) The costs for practices that would exclude livestock from woodlands, sensitive wildlife habitat, and recreational lands.

ATCP 50.80(2)(g) (g) The costs for development of a prescribed grazing plan.

ATCP 50.80(3) (3) Design, construction, and maintenance. A cost-share grant under s. ATCP 50.40 may not reimburse prescribed grazing costs unless all of the following conditions are met:

ATCP 50.80(3)(a) (a) The prescribed grazing practices comply with all of the following that apply:

ATCP 50.80(3)(a)1. 1. NRCS conservation practice standard 342 critical area planting (January, 2018).

ATCP 50.80(3)(a)2. 2. NRCS conservation practice standard 512 forage and biomass planting (January, 2013).

ATCP 50.80(3)(a)3. 3. NRCS conservation practice standard 472 access control (January, 2018).

ATCP 50.80(3)(a)4. 4. NRCS conservation practice standard 580 streambank and shoreline protection (September, 2021).
