really? I don’t know much about framing I always thought that grazing land for cattle was about the same as land used to grow wheat and corn.

Considering they feed our beef and even farm raised fish corn it really doesn’t matter, it’s crap food either way ...

I don’t know much about framing

Framing, in construction known as light-frame construction,
is a building technique based around structural members,
usually called studs, which provide a stable frame
to which interior and exterior wall coverings are attached,
and covered by a roof comprising horizontal ceiling
joists and sloping rafters (together forming a truss
structure) or manufactured pre-fabricated roof trusses—all
of which are covered by various sheathing materials to give weather resistance.

Ever visit large parts of Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and the western Dakotas where livestock grazing thrives but growing wheat and corn would not be commercially viable?

Often steeper terrain and/or rockier soil, at least in these parts. You can grow grass in the cracks in a sidewalk, not so corn.

If you want to really free up some prime agricultural land, tear down the suburbs. Most of them sprang up in the farm fields around the towns that formed at railheads, road junctions, and river ports where those crops used to get shipped out.
