Biden proposal would let conservationists lease public land much as drillers and ranchers do

6. I only know about offshore leases

Those go up for bid in a public-ish auction. I assume the same goes for the land, so if you own acreage that is adjacent to BLM land and the public land goes up for lease, you may indeed get it for the minimum bid, if there are no other bidders. I cannot remember what that minimum is. There are also conditions associated with maintaining the lease.
I think its great plan, and like most other govt plans it may be tricky to navigate the process. My first thought was to get some near shore leases in the Gulf of Mexico to protect sport fishing habitats.
