On the Groundâ¢Ranchers'' responses to drought differ depending on where they live and specific circumstances of their ranches, but there are striking similarities across regions.â¢Changes in practice after a drought reflect a general desire to buffer one's operation against disruptions, rather than being specifically aimed at the next drought.â¢Interviewees often pointed to good things that arose from the bad situation of drought.â¢Energy development helped offset drought impacts in two cases, but interviewees generally preferred to diversify their income streams through agricultural rather than non-agricultural enterprises.â¢Ability to respond to drought is somewhat constrained by federal tax laws and agency grazing regulations, as well as by ranchers' specific circumstances.
