When 85 year-old rancher Richard Drewry was killed, I shot an investigative documentary about his case and the changes in my hometown. Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw.

Keely at @americaunwon has new updates about our situation

A fifth-generation Arizona rancher started getting calls from a Danish solar company wanting access through his locked gates.

He thought they found him by chance.

They didn't. Local officials invited them.

I fell down a rabbit hole this week…

"Pay-to-play": How a nonprofit run by county officials recruited Big Wind & Solar to Arizona ranch country

Did a European energy company just happen to find Casey Murph’s ranch?

Or were they invited?

BREAKING: Secretary Rollins Fires Back at Huffman's Investigation Into Potter Valley Dams

[Secretary Doug Burgum @SecretaryBurgum]

For too long, ranchers and land managers were forced to work under outdated rules.

@POTUS made it clear that we must cut red tape, support those who feed our nation and ensure our public lands remain healthy for future generations. This does exactly that.

BEEF TARIFF CUT DELAYED, per White House

Trump did not sign a planned suspension of tariff-rate quotas for beef. No explanation given, but came after pushback from ranchers and Capitol Hill R's

Trump's team now "finalizing potential executive actions" on beef, per official.

Over 100 people attended a Potter Valley water meeting last week to oppose a demand letter that targeted several local water advocates (including me).

Today, the cowboy hat in D.C. meant something!

The changes happening at USDA are generational. Shad Sullivan did an incredible job speaking on behalf of independent producers. Producers have a seat at the table again. @yearlins

Sixteen days until Bishop California Mule Days.

I just received a notification that @Orsted has made a move to evict my cattle from several sections of land within our AZ state allotment. The installation will likely look much like the one in Pinal county here on Orsted's post. Pemanantly barren and lifeless. If it happens there will be no winter pasture left, and our operation will be done after 5 generations.
Folks should know, things like this have directly contributed to the high cost of retail beef in stores.
I appreciate the support we have gotten from friends here on X. @americaunwon @yearlins @jimmundorf @LonesomeLands @SecRollins @andybiggs4az

There are hundreds of thousands of acres of Arizona State Lands that have nearly 0 carrying capacity for livestock and have no grazing leases on them.

Some modern cowboy artists base their art on photos taken in a rodeo arena and then add a background. Gary Morton depicts real working ranch cowpunchers on the landscape of real working ranches. Thats why he is one of my favorites. @Designed2Think
