The buck stops here!

While low spec subdivisions are taking ranch/farm land at an alarming rate it's not our only issue! Wildlife exemptions are hurting the Texas ranchers as well! In nature livestock and wildlife graze side by side in peace eating different things. Currently large scale wildlife ranches are taking vast amounts of ranch land. Mowing the grass that deer or other wildlife won't eat that cattle will! Large corporations are buying these ranches selling the cows putting up a high fence and keeping the cattle ranchers out! These freakishly large antler deer grazing thousands of acres with no cattle in sight is crippling ag exemptions! While I understand the need for bees cattle and bees can coexist. Regulations need to be made. Currently 12 bee hives will tax exempt 20 acres. When 12 bee hives only need approximate 450 sq. ft. of space. A simple hotwire fence or cattle panel around the hive can deter cattle. Now they're coexisting. WASTED LAND! FARMES AND RANCHERS ARE GETTING BEAT EVERY DIRECTION!

    We NEED a government that understands and cares about agriculture and wildlife!!! Save our pollinators! Protect the supply of Texan animal products by supporting our Ranchers and Dairy Farmers! No more corporate farms and ranches! Update wildlife and hunting policies to keep them healthy and multiplying!
