My father in Alabama routinely rents out his pasture to neighboring dairy farmers for graze. In Alabama, the bulk of available land is in private hands.

In Arizona, 17% of the available land is in private hands, the rest must be leased from the Federal Government. There is no market for land.

Your point? Why shouldn't the Feds get market rate for grazing rights? In the water sensitive area of the Southweat, was it really good policy to encourage people to overpopulate the area by subsidizing food and water by the use of public projects, subsidized water and subsidized grazing?

Oops, slight misstatement.

83% of the land in Arizona is owned by local, state, and federal governments. So you may be able to lease from the State as well.

the rest must be leased from the Federal Government.

This always galls me when I recall the following..

Art. 1 Sec. 8 Clause 17....
