    Ted turner is an interesting case for sure. Like I remember 20 years ago getting so fucking mad about his land ownership in the Midwest and mountain west, then realizing it was either him or some monsanto big ag ghoul polluting the water with poor ranching practices...

      Yeah, definitely a special case. I wonder what happens to the land when he dies. It sounds good if it gets turned over to public land but I worked on BLM land and the habitat is decimated from overgrazing. BLM is scared to limit grazing because the ranchers have so much influence.

      I can't help but to think it would be better if remained private as long as they continue doing what they're doing.

        I’m assuming land trusts, but don’t know. Fuck ranchers in this country, mostly the ones who use BLM lands.
