Hank Vogler on BLM Permits, Coal Energy and the Fight to Save the Sheep Industry
Nevada rancher and White Pine County Commissioner Hank Vogler joins Trent Loos on Rural Route to tackle the biggest issues facing Western agriculture. Hank explains costly BLM grazing permit delays and how federal land control, wind farms, and solar projects threaten rural communities. Trent makes the case for affordable, reliable coal energy. The two dig into the decline of the American sheep industry, from 60 million head to 5 million, as lamb imports from Australia and New Zealand, labor costs, and regulations squeeze producers. They also question Cargill Foundation funding for animal rights groups, cell-cultured protein, and 30x30 land conservation.
