I’m seeing the “ranchers should deal with it because they graze bellow market rate on federal land argument” thing is that 68% of Colorado is government owned, so there isn’t much of an alternative. And the percentage of federally/public owned is even higher in other western states. Maybe offer these ranchers a chance to buy the land they graze on? That should adjust grazing rates back to market price in time.
