[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3436827, member: 5412"] Cherry Creek Watershed on his Flying D ranch. Kayne West has bought a 14 million dollar property not far from Turners which has also increased the property values so the ranchers cannot afford to keep up with the property taxes. Turner isn't doing this malischlily. He was raised hunting and fishing and tries to do conservation efforts on his properties, but the fact is that it drives ranchers living on the cusp of bankruptcy out of business. Here is another story from Nebraska where he has done the same. Another persistent complaint is that Turner's extraordinary ability to outbid just about anyone is driving up land prices, making it tougher for longtime ranchers to expand and keep their operations afloat. Over the past decade, ranch land in the Sandhills region of the state where Turner owns all his property has more than doubled in price to over $300 an acre. Kevin McCully, a Mullen-area land broker, said only a part of the increase can be attributed to Turner. Maybe, said Kime, but he just knows he can't compete: The recent auction was the third time in recent years that he was outbid by Turner, who now borders about three-quarters of Kime's ranch. Kime now wonders whether someday he might have to sell the ranch that has been in the family for generations. "Turner might be the only one around that would want to buy it," he said. [URL]https://www.foxnews.com/story/ted-turners-massive-land-purchases-generate-suspicion[/URL] Turner recently sold the 40 some thousand acre land he bought back in the 80's in Osage County where I live in Ok to the Osage Tribe. The Nature Conservancy bought several defunt ranches and now operates it as the Tall Grass Prairie Preserve. Turners intent as I read was to re-introduce the black foot ferret that used to live in this area. He was also raising bison on the property. No clue why he sold it although we have a member on OSA that might. [/QUOTE]
