Billionaires Benefit from Public Land Grazing Subsidies, Sparking Equity and Environmental Concerns
Grist provides an in-depth investigation into how billionaires, large corporations, and utility companies disproportionately benefit from federal public land grazing subsidies in the U.S., while smaller ranchers struggle to survive. The report outlines how the Trump administration is expanding these benefits, with oversight of environmental harm declining, resulting in land degradation and questionable public returns. Agencies like the Bureau of Land Management have seen staff reductions, making thorough environmental reviews nearly impossible. The analysis reveals that just 10 percent of ranchers control two-thirds of grazing on BLM acreage, and that the system often props up unprofitable ranches at taxpayer expense. Critics call for a reimagining of subsidies to serve public interests, while supporters argue that ranching sustains rural communities and open spaces.
