Functional Functional. Once the grazing animal has been established, then choosing the right agreement will depend on whether the landowner wishes to allow the grazier no-obligation, short-term access to the land via the granting of a license, or impose more formal obligations, such as repair or maintenance, in which case a formal tenancy agreement would be more appropriate.
Every grazing situation will be subject to individual requirements and needs and therefore, each one should be considered fully before any agreement is entered into. Our agricultural experts can advise landowners on their specific circumstances. Additionally, there is more information on our website about grazing licences, should landowners wish to learn more.

Grazing lands are lands where grass or grass-like vegetation grows and is the dominant form of plant life, and are used mainly for animal production.
Grazing lands cover a broad range of land use types and include:. Other factors, such as climate variability and gaps in feed supply, also negatively affect productivity, especially in dryland areas. Sustainable land management SLM technologies that reduce grazing pressure or improve the management of animal waste can address soil and land degradation, reduce GHG emissions, and could simultaneously improve productivity.
Collection of cattle urine in improved cattle sheds for use as liquid manure and organic pesticide. Cattle urine, which is a viable alternative to mineral fertiliser, is collected in a pit or drum and protected from rain and runoff.
Where urine is collected for incorporation with farmyard manure, the pit may be directly connected to the manure pit or heap. Urine that is used as liquid manure or organic pesticide is stored in a drum for fermentation. Many eastern forests used for timber production are also grazed, particularly if the forest land type is suitable for livestock grazing and other forage, such as pasture or hay, is available.
During the first half of this century, most agricultural operations included both cropland and grazing land. Cattle, sheep, and goats often grazed land that could not or should not have been cultivated or otherwise used intensively.
New technology and new marketing opportunities in the 's, however, encouraged farmers to plow lands that had not been previously cultivated. The result, in many places, was increased erosion on lands that formerly had been protected by grasses, legumes, and shrubs. Although some runoff and erosion are natural, accelerated erosion on degraded land reduces the land's production potential and causes offsite damage from sedimentation in streams, rivers, lakes, and reservoirs.
Accelerated erosion is a concern not only where grazing lands have been plowed, but also on lands that are grazed improperly. Improper grazing can lead to other detrimental environmental impacts. Twenty-five percent of the Nation's grazing lands need some form of conservation treatment to reduce erosion. Grazing animals eat plants that cannot be digested by humans and many other animals, and have the advantage of producing food and fiber with little expenditure of fossil fuel energy.
On properly managed grazing land--including pasture-land and hayland--only 1 calorie of fossil-fuel energy is needed to produce up to 2 calories of food and fiber energy. Many crops require from 5 to 10 calories of fossil-fuel energy for every calorie of food or fiber produced. Improving the efficiency of grazing land production can increase landowners' income, improve environmental quality, and help reduce the Nation's dependence on imported fossil fuel.
Grazing by domestic livestock has been the primary use of grazing lands since European settlement and remains one of the most important uses today. Meat, milk, leather, wool, and mohair are well-known products from grazing animals. Less well known are pharmaceuticals produced from nonfood parts of the animals; natural fertilizers from animal bones, blood, and manure; and new and unique uses of familiar products--such as using wool, which readily absorbs oil, to remove spilled oil from soils, streams, lakes, and oceans.
Vast quantities of rain and snow fall on the Nation's grazing lands. On healthy grazing lands, much of the water infiltrates into the soil and is used for plant growth, is stored in underground aquifers, or flows through the soil, providing water for streamflow, riparian areas, wetlands, and lakes, and sub- sequent use by people and wildlife. Modern grazing land management is one of the most important ways that farmers and ranchers can reduce erosion and water pollution and diversify income.
For example, natural drainage areas on farms and the riparian areas adjacent to streams can be planted to grazing land plants. These forage plants capture runoff and sediment from the fields and protect water quality.
