The Fight for the Land: Hank Vogler on Sheep, Solar, and the Future of Ranching
The conversation turns serious as Hank discusses the threat of solar farms spreading across valuable farmland and grazing land. Drawing parallels to the Taylor Grazing Act of the 1930s, Hank warns that the rise of green energy projects could devastate ranching and agriculture by removing productive land and displacing livestock just as government policy once did to the sheep industry. As a member of his local county commission, Hank questions how much local communities actually gain from these so-called “green” projects, and whether the long-term cost to rural America is far greater than the money brought in today.
