Ranches in much of Arizona are primarily located on large tracts of state trust land and federal Bureau of Land Management property, which can be leased. John Weisser said his family has been located on the same acreage in eastern La Paz County for 80 years."Some people look at that part of Arizona as a wasteland," said Sandy Bahr, the director of the Sierra Club's Grand Canyon Chapter.
"One of the great things about Arizona is we have a lot of land, and we have a lot of land that's not currently occupied by people or buildings or farming," said Steve Zylstra, President & CEO of the Arizona Technology Council."There's no reason in the world that we shouldn't be the leader in the nation in clean energy."
"They want to take all the best stuff in the heart of the ranch," Weisser said."They have four different deals right here in this area." "There is every reason to see the value that is coming to the state of Arizona," said Stan Barnes, a solar industry lobbyist."Some grazing land is going away. It was going to happen. And it's part of the bargain someone with more for the trust will come along and they will have to exit."
