“These are the times that try men's souls.” | Quite a few ago Here it was $200+ @ hour to brush beat sage brush fencelines, etc. For Sage Grouse and fire break management. Only one rancher bid it then. Now BLM rents tractor and brush hog, same with Forest Service doing the same. 200+ hp tractors, beaters 15' plus. Very costly for them to rent, would be cheaper for them to have local bid it at $250 @ hour.
I would rather pull into sagebrush than do roadside, too many got you's on side of road. |
