I agree. The market should determine the cost of grazing. Get the government out of it. Put the land in private hands and let the market determine the cost of grazing. It's that simple.

"I agree. The market should determine the cost of grazing."

Correct but there are impediments to the market like this decision and the thousands like it. Furthermore, they change so often (read increasingly restrictive), that it is well nigh impossible to "determine the cost of grazing"

"Get the government out of it."

Amen, but you are in fantasy land if you think that will ever happen.


"Put the land in private hands and let the market determine the cost of grazing. It's that simple."

Again correct, but in reality, it won't happen. Even if the land were in private hands, the government rulings as cited in this thread, obviate a free market for beef. Ergo, we would all become vegetarians.

Your premise is spot on, but it won't happen until after the next revolution.
