Texas Stockmen Protest Ruling on Grazing Land Lease
A San Angelo stockmen's committee pressed the State Land Board in Austin to reverse an eight cent grazing land lease minimum. They warned of boycotts and argued the policy harms Northwest Texas, while Land Commissioner Walsh took responsibility and Gov. Treland noted the board seeks fairness. The board adjourned to receive written arguments and prepared to present clear issues before the State. The stockmen aim to influence the State Democratic Convention to oppose Walsh.
