128. Those fees and regulations go back for hundreds of years. They are not johnny come lately plans

to keep ranchers from using the land.

By the way do you think that the drought has nothing to do with getting ranchers off this land NOW? Many ranchers and farmers who raise cattle are selling off their herds which is one reason why our beef costs art going up so far. I watched a farmer in NW IA overgraze is small farm to the point that the only thing that grew on the soil were weeds. I suspect that other ranchers have also been asked to cut the number of cattle grazing on public lands. And yes, many of those ranchers have gone under because they have only a small ranch they own just like bundy and they cannot survive without using the public lands for the small fee they pay. That is not good but it is happening. Until this drought gets over the land has to be cared for.

This is not so different than the 50s when the small farmers lost their farms because they did not adapt to the times. In that era it was economics and new techniques that drove them out of business today it is environment.

I am sensing that it does not matter what I say so I will not be posting on this issue again. Yes, it is not worth fighting about I am surrendering like the BLM did.
