Very good point, CORPORATE ranches, HUGE corporations, are the norm on public land, not “mom and pop” operations. Also, Florida produces more beef off private land, where it rains and grass grows, than several western state’s public rangelands combined. Ah, yes, “personhood”.
They’ve been grazing at the White House and Capitol Hill for generations. It was only a matter of time that they now got the Scotus under their control.
Some time ago, Denzel Ferguson wrote “Sacred Cows at the Public Trough”, about public land grazing, and how the range was being destroyed, while the public was getting ripped off. “Citizens United”, and other decisions aiding the top rung of our ladder to power, have made SCOTUS somewhat an embarrassment.

The only thing that is going to save the Middle Class is the Middle Class. We are the 99%—- that means we have the votes to elect people who will actually represent middle class workers and provide a safety net for those who are trying to get into the middle class.We all need to know who is supporting the candidates. That is who they will be working for. They have no choice if they want to stay in office. You have to do the bidding of whoever is paying your way, just the same as we all do in our jobs. So, before going to vote, look it up on the internet. Open Secrets is a good site, but there are plenty.
If the candidate is getting their money from small donors or from unions, they are going to be working for middle class working people. If their donations are from corporations or from 1%ers, that’s who their votes are going to be working for. They are not going to go against them and do anything to help the middle class.

It would be political suicide.
