THIS Is how it starts. They buy out(at less, far less than what it's worth) then take over the whole damn thing.
Funny how these people submitting the proposal for the government to buy this land also have strong personal interests in the area.
Is there a way they can get the government to allow them to grow hemp and have some trout grant or something so that they also get to use the land free? First step devalue the land by cutting off the water, second step submit a proposal for the poor farmers that want to leave, third step develop a grant for growing hemp on government owned land or for trout species and have the taxpayer fund their riches.</p
I'm from the Government, I'm here to help.
