My understanding is that the federal government raised the fees to graze cattle and the ranchers balked. Is that incorrect?

On the website I cited, there are photos of environmental degradation caused by grazing. Are they inaccurate?

It seems like the land existed with grass growing on it long before the cattle came. Wild fires are normal and a natural correction. It doesn't seem reasonable to assert that cattle grazing MUST occur to protect the land, but this is an issue I am not that familiar with. Maybe we need a lot more buffalo?

I agree that eating range-raised beef is better than eating crops poisoned by Monsanto terminator technology. I am just wishing for a world in which neither of these things exist.
