A federal program intended to protect America’s grasslands may be encouraging wildfires that spoil them, a member of the Senate committee that writes farm policy said Wednesday. Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) blamed the Conservation Reserve Program in part for fires that have raged through his state’s ranchlands. At a Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee hearing, he asked Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins to support efforts to ease the program’s restrictions on grazing.
