Terence J. Centner, a professor of agricultural and applied economics at UGA, lent his expertise to the Santa Cruz, Ariz., Nogales International in an article about that state’s open range laws and their effect on ranchers, cattle and homeowners. The laws, which date back many years in Arizona’s history, might need to be updated, Centner said.
“Things have changed a lot in 40 years,” he said. “If you practice range management, research has shown that the range will generate more food.”
