What to keep for Fisher County
Whether or not Fisher County asks for a report this year, keep dated proof that you carried out at least three of the seven wildlife management practices in your plan:
- A log of each activity: the date, what you did, where and how much
- Dated photos of the work (feeders, water, brush piles, cleared brush)
- Receipts and invoices for feed, seed, materials and contractors
- Census sheets with dates, routes and numbers seen
Read our plain-English guide to the annual report (PWD-888) for the full 3-of-7 rule, or see deadlines for other counties.
Ag valuation in Fisher County
Running cattle, cutting hay or farming instead of managing for wildlife? These are the Fisher County Appraisal District’s published degree-of-intensity standards for the 1-d-1 agricultural valuation.
Native pasture has no minimum acreage but must carry at least 2 animal units. Improved pasture and cropland need at least 5 acres. Required stocking depends on soil subclass: native pasture 38–131 acres per animal unit; improved pasture 8–45 acres per animal unit dryland and 4–21 irrigated.
| Minimum animals | 2 animal units |
|---|---|
| Improved pasture | 4–45 acres per animal unit |
| Native pasture | 38–131 acres per animal unit |
| Hay | Hayland is classed as improved pasture: at least 2 cuttings a year dryland or 3 irrigated, with a minimum yield of 1½ tons per acre; if cut less, graze it the rest of the season. |
| Crops and orchards | Cropland and orchards need 5 acres. Pecan orchards need 14 trees per acre and vineyards 100 vines per acre. Wheat grazed out must support 1 animal unit per 1½ acres. |
| Beekeeping | Bee land must be 5–20 acres; the district gives no hive count. |
| History and filing | Land must have been in ag use 5 of the last 7 years. File between January 1 and April 30. The district may ask for notarized statements from lessors or neighbors, feed/vet/seed invoices, livestock or hay sale receipts, a Schedule F, or a current lease. |

An animal unit is one cow (or cow-calf pair); a horse counts as one, and about five goats or sheep make one, though some districts count them differently. See what Texas requires for ag valuation. Your appraisal district has the final say, so call them if anything here doesn’t match your letter.
