President Joe Biden is pushing forward on an executive order calling for 30 percent of U.S. land be “conserved” — up from the 13 percent that are national parks and other federal holdings — including private property. And while environmentalists want even more restrictions, Republicans and Americans whose livelihood depends on land are strongly opposed to what they see as a land grab by the federal government.
“This ‘30×30’ goal has received a great deal of attention in farming and ranching communities across the country,” American Farm Bureau Federation President Zippy Duvall wrote in April. “America’s agriculturalists are asking whether their good work will be recognized by the administration. They have voluntarily enrolled more than 140 million acres of private land into federal and non-federal conservation programs — a land mass larger than the size of New York and California combined.

Zippy??
And of course almost all of that is in the west and Alaska. 🤬
His parents are probably cousins...
No - he doesn’t get to play dictator with private property.
If congress passes a law of appropriation that’s one thing… XO to commandeer land? No.
Gun confiscation is next.
Within the decade the left will be attempting to force vegetarianism upon America.
Abolishing ranching land is one step of that plan.
“Someone else is making him sign these Eo.”
Plugs signs them willfully after being told, “This one is for curing cancer and this one is to stop hate speech, and this one is to make all new cars get 100 mpg...”
He has no clue what he’s signing!! He just does as he’s told. I’m sure Jill has trained him well in taking orders.
No, no more cutting trees in any National Forest.
Even though Teddy Roosevelt created them just for that purpose.
Stop making excuses - he signs them, he is responsible.
The largest owner of farmland in the US is…Bill Gates
Is that land going off-limits?
That’s the problem right there. “Farming and ranching communities have voluntarily enrolled more than 140 million acres of private land into federal and non-federal conservation programs.”
Give the lefty environmentalist whackos an inch and they’ll take a mile.
So I say we agree to let them reserve the 28% they already own on one condition. That condition is the Federal govenment immediately stops operation and vacates any now reserved land. With an exception for military bases.
As a landowner whose property (200+ acres) boarders nat’l forest on 2 sides, far as I know you’ve never been allowed to cut down trees on nat’l forest land. I do know often times culling downed trees IS allowed for forest fire management/prevention measures though.
Well, maybe he’s making a deal with China and they will immediately become the legal owners. You know, to help pay off the liberalDemocrat created debt we’ve incurred over the decades.
If he’s going to do it, let him apply the same standard he is using to distribute monoclonal treatments. Each state should have the exact same percentage of land set aside. No, I don’t favor this but I detest hypocrisy.
Those who think wildfires have been bad so far…haven’t seen anything yet.
