[QUOTE="Slappy, post: 358991, member: 7608"] I also witnessed first hand a section of state land closed during gun season in 3F2. Frankly, we should discuss discontinuing the use of some state land for production agriculture. Once it is dedicated to that purpose, it's utility to outdoorsmen as public land is altered, sometimes positively but more often negatively. I know and care for many people that make part of their living on state trust land. I'm not advocating for it but would like to explore the concept. To the family farm owners, this may seem like an affront but they should be far more concerned about Burgum opening the door to more industrial farming without protecting small operations because that will be the end for many regardless of their access to trust land. NDGF is going down a path of diverting more federal and state money to private property owners which I do not believe will have a significant positive impact for most license holders. There are two square miles of state trust land in most townships, some of which could be managed for public opportunity far more effectively than private land. Private land partnerships are also important, but to overlook trust land as an avenue to increase opportunity is foolish. [/QUOTE]
