The Cheyenne land is leased to ranchers to graze their cattle. For several years there has been a pest problem with grasshoppers. Fredericks said that there were so many that the ground would just hop. The plants were eaten down to just a stub. Last year, USDA APHIS PPQ was contacted for assistance. Adams was able to assist them in getting funding to suppress the grasshopper population that was eating away their forage plants. She says that they (USDA) got right on it, and approximately 50,000 acres of land were suppressed in a timely fashion. With APHIS&#039;s help, the natural rangeland plants grew back, and lease operations continue. Because suppression was applied early, the grasshoppers were not able to mate and lay eggs, which greatly reduces the population for some more years. Suppression was kept away from residential areas, cropland, bodies of water, waterways, and any area that might produce health and safety concerns.
