Just for clarrification, but BLM grazing fees are not on a per acre basis, but are billed per animal unit month. IME, though in a different state, that is how private land leases are billed as well.They get public land leases for nearly free, compared to private lease rates here in Montana (private $23.60 an acre and $1.35 for BLM).
When you say wildlife have "priority" public lands are you referring to forage allocation?
