Thank you for informing me as to what “most” Utah, Nevada and Arizona ranchers would prefer to do. Those competing with these ranchers would prefer that they get off the public teat.
“Those competing with these ranchers would prefer that they get off the public teat.”
What public teat?
What is the federal government “giving” freely to these businesses? Hmmm? In what sense is the federal government giving anything special to the ranchers?
“By keeping a rancher in business who could not otherwise make it on his own...”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You really ARE clueless, aren’t you! The feds own 63% of Utah land. They charge less for grazing, but they provide far less. Still, it is often the ONLY option open to a rancher.
