Eastern Oregon ranchers are facing significant losses due to a record wildfire season. This summer, more than 1.5 million acres have burned, including crucial grazing lands. Ranchers are grappling with the aftermath, including dead livestock, destroyed fences, and charred pastures. With hay costs soaring and displaced cattle needing new pastures, the economic toll is mounting. Federal support has been slow, leaving ranchers feeling neglected as they struggle to recover from the devastating fire season.
