August Ludwig Hormay

Soil Sciences

August Ludwig Hormay (1907 to 1999) developed and applied the concept of the rest-rotation grazing management system in areas of the Western United States. The rest-rotation rangeland management system uses deferred grazing to manage plant reproduction and maintenance while providing grazing lands for both livestock and wildlife. Hormay's system was developed to increase a healthy plant community, watershed, soil and wildlife habitat while also increasing livestock production, and it has been used in various forms since the mid-1960s as a rangeland management tool.
