Thank you @SecRollins for always advocating for the independent rancher. Casey Murph represents the very best of American agriculture. We cannot afford to lose him and the fifth-generation cattle operation he manages in Arizona
I am a high desert rancher on land that solar development desperately wants to take away from me. It is by no means 'prime farm land', but I do feed 100 families beef, and I also provide wildlife habitat for deer, pronghorn, golden eagles, roadrunners, burrowing owls and the rare
As Secretary, I'm committed to reviving America's heartland by protecting our farmland from being overtaken by solar panels.
Under the leadership of @POTUS, the Green New Scam is dead and rational, reasonable thought is back in the White House.
Solar belongs in the towns that need the power. Rooftops, over parking lots, brown sites, canals and even city streets. It does not belong on open lands, wildlife habitat, and farmland. Full stop.
I am going to go on a rant here, and call out the plank in my own eye as a rancher.
A wealthy businessman has been buying run-down cattle ranches in my area. He then gets NRCS money to pay for improvements like wells, water troughs, pipelines and fences. Then he sells the
There is no financial benefit for a rancher to bring home an orphaned calf. Its costs much more in milk replacer than the calf will ever be worth, not to mention all the time devoted to taking care of them. But I have never known a rancher who doesn't try to save any orphans they
The @SierraClub is a net negative. They got the mules kicked out of Grand Cayon after 100 years. They sued ranchers for grazing in desert tortoise habitat and then supported turning that same habitat into sterilized industrial solar farms. Don't get me started on Sierra Club
There is another thing that is relevant to this discussion. Much of the justification they used to treat Nate this way was violation of a statute against entering restricted grounds. Every person who crosses the border illegally is in violation of the very same statute.
I am old enough to remember when it was universal that this "packing up" against someone in a scrap is shameful and cowardly. I don't know how it became normalized.
This is not true. The reason the military was trying to switch to green energy is to virtue signal support for this climate doomsday cult, and nothing more.
If you think obtaining hydrocarbon fuel is difficult in a middle eastern war zone, try finding a solar farm to plug into
After Appomattox, the union lacked the capacity to act as punishers. They won that war by a razor's edge and they knew it. Victory was not obtained through superior force, but rather through the naval blockade. The Union wisely took steps to avoid further inflammations.
I ranch in the hotbed of land desired by renewable Utility LLCs. Since 2021, I have been under constant threat from solar utility corporations who have tried to outbid and evict my livestock from an AZ land lease. The lease has been in my family since territorial times. These
Mexico just thought they owned all that in 1830. In reality it belonged to the Comanches, Navajo and Apaches.
The Mexican government invited Americans in to settle because they were unable to handle the hostile native tribes.
