The Casey Murph Story: An Arizona Cattle Rancher's Fight to Protect Wildlife & Landscape

Arizona cattle rancher Casey Murph joins me for a wide-ranging interview examining a growing battle over land, wildlife habitat, and the future of rural Arizona. Murph argues that policies accelerating renewable energy development could reshape generations of ranching and change how open land is used across the state.“I really hate to make this political because I don’t really think this has to be political. I think most Arizonans are really against evicting ranchers and wildlife over solar.” We discuss New World screwworm, grazing allotments, foreign beef, Arizona land policy, and whether prime ranch and wildlife habitat should be converted for large-scale solar projects. Mr. Murph says this isn’t ranchers vs. solar. It’s about the future of land and wildlife several generations of his family have worked to protect.Watch the VideoPlease send news tips to [email protected].
