<dd>The Range Rider was an agency newsletter issued to the employees of the U.S. Grazing Service (formerly known as the Division of Grazing) during 1939-1942. The purpose was to establish closer contacts and relationships among the U.S. Grazing Service employees and communicate new rules of conduct relative to the operation of the Taylor Grazing Act, as outlined by the new Director, Richard H. Rutledge. The publication contained condensed statements of important happenings, accomplishments, acts, decisions, and proceedings in the Division and certain personal glimpses; promoted good fellowship in the organization; and, provided an open channel, often flavored with a certain degree of informality, for keeping the men and women of the Grazing Service in touch with the aims, ideas and activities involved in the program. The transfer of many of the Grazing Service employees into the military, along with wartime shortages of materials, probably led to the demise of the publication in 1942</dd>
