Establishes a controlled livestock grazing program within the department of agriculture

HB 583 establishes a state program to regulate livestock grazing for clearing vegetation on land. The Missouri Department of Agriculture must set specific standards, including limiting grazing to once per year on any plot, capping it at 30 consecutive days annually, defining authorized livestock, and requiring permits with fees. Landowners or contractors needing to use grazing for vegetation clearing must obtain a permit and follow rules on livestock care, noise, neighbor notifications, and temporary fencing exemptions. The program includes a dedicated fund for administration, financed by permit fees, with funds retained biennially rather than reverting to general revenue.
