The Rangeland Drill Seeding project outlines specifications for drill seeding an approximate area of 3,915 acres in Owyhee County, Idaho, starting on September 15, 2025, with a performance period of 40 days. The terrain is characterized by rolling hills, surface and subsurface rock, and an elevation range of 3,875-4,570 feet. The government will provide six rangeland drills and the seed, which includes a specific mix of grass and alfalfa varieties totaling 43,200 lbs, to be applied at a depth of ½ to ¾ inch.
