Once the land was restored with vegetation farmers and ranchers moved back onto the land. Using improved farming and grazing management practices agriculture has returned to the Tooele Valley and the Great Plains. Even today, the Dust Bowl is remembered as one of the most severe tragedies to affect both nature and people in this country's history. In the mid 1990's parts of Texas experienced a few years of drought. Farmers, ranchers and conservationists moved quickly to remove livestock to keep as many plants as possible on the range.
Livestock can graze on rangelands if they are managed properly.
Ranchers and public land managers must be able to move livestock when weather and range conditions will not allow the germination of new plants.
