319: Government Overreach and Ranch Land Rights— Why Producers Need to Act Now with John Campbell

Strong cattle markets don’t mean the challenges have gone away. Lauren is joined by John Campbell once again today to break down what’s happening in today’s cattle market, from rising prices and tight supplies to what producers are seeing on the ground right now.

But this conversation goes beyond the market as John shares what’s unfolding in Colorado with proposed energy transmission corridors that could impact private ranch land, raising serious concerns around property rights, government overreach, and the long-term future of rural communities.

As strong as the market is, producers are still facing drought conditions, difficult management decisions, and increasing outside pressure on the land they depend on.
