Biden's land grab

“The concerns of farmers and ranchers are escalating regarding the intent of the 30×30 goal, the definition of conservation, and the metrics for defining success, among other things,” Duvall wrote. “We urge you to move swiftly to provide clarity about your intentions for the initiative, and when you do so, it will be important for you to invite public comment because farmers and ranchers are leaders in conservation and deserve to have their voices heard.”
But if not moving swiftly the Biden Administration is again focusing on the order.
Taxpayer-funded National Public Radio (NPR) reported on what it described as Biden’s effort “to slow the collapse of nature.”

But Republican Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts spoke out against the plan when Biden put it in an executive order.
“We do need to watch any sort of federal legislation because the President doesn’t have the constitutional authority to do this. He will have to work through the congress,” Ricketts said in a local television report.
“Ricketts also was rallying support for counties to fight this at the local level,” 3 News reported. “Every county board must approve a conservation easement, which is a contract between a landowner and the feds that would put the land into the ‘conserved’ category. Ricketts said those contracts have strings attached and often are in perpetuity.”
“We want people to be aware of what’s probably going to be happening in your own backyards, so read the fine print and get your counties involved,” Ricketts said.
I do not trust the Biden administration to take control of 30 % of US land. The government currently controls 13 % already. This looks like a pander to the environmental wackos.
