And if the contract says, “these terms will eventually drive you out of business, just like it did your neighbors...”
Would you still have signed it?
Nobody is ever granted an unchanged grazing allotments in perpetuity. It’s not his land and the allotments are a contract not an inalienable right.
So yeah, if he wanted to use the allotment to the extent on offer, he should have signed it. Instead, he stupidly shot his argument in the foot by refusing and illegally running trespass cattle.
Had he maintained his grazing allotment in a legal fashion, he may have had a fighting chance to argue the inadequacies of the BLM management practices and the bogus science of the tortoise plan in court.
But because he doesn’t have a contract, he has no legal standing to argue from, he’s just a trespasser. The enviroweenies bought up his allotment and retired it. Super Genius strategy there.
