Local adaptations:
Bush thickets: serve as important windbreaks in years where grass cover was denuded by grazing pressure = flowering phase also a fodder resource for sheep and goats during critical time of year - alleviates grazing pressure on emerging grasses allowing them to grow well
Sour grass: whilst recognized to be a limitation on grazing he did not perceive its extent to be increasing
- areas where presence of sour grass become important host for melons = melons particularly valuable for cattle, provide food and reducing need for regular water

- FAP-funded initiatives included livestock purchases (like poultry and smallstock), agricultural development (such as market gardens), and small enterprises (e.g., brick making, transport services)
