    Burgum’s friend, the Republican governor of Montana, Greg Gianforte, celebrated the decision, promising to “stand with our farmers and ranchers against federal overreach”. He said: “We must ensure that public lands remain accessible and productive, rather than being locked away for the vision of special interests.”

    Right, because ranchers aren’t their own special interest group. 🙄

        We need to switch to a lot more small local sustainable community farming practices and way less industrial farming

          Look up how much corn gets used for ethanol.

          Then look up how much of the soybean harvest is shipped overseas (before Trump ruined the markets)

          Subsidize small local farmers who use sustainable practices like cover crops and permaculture. We need to overhaul our system and move away from this corrupt industrial farming scam system. Everyone who can should have chickens and a vegetable garden at home. Imagine how much better things would be if the majority had this?
