News report:More than 20,000 acres of Texas rangeland will be reclaimed after having been stripmined and restored to its original ranchers. Three electric cooperatives have reached agreement with southwestern Texas ranchers to lease this land with the provision that reclamation will begin as early as 1979. Four grasses are being tested by Texas Agricultural Extension Service for their suitability for use on land that has been mined. (2 photos)
