“We have over a million acres of farmland that has been burned and ruined. And not only that, we have Texas forest service that is going into these ranchers properties and dozing up the land. They're not even dozing the burned areas. They're ruining the remaining… pic.twitter.com/DrvNPe4Dq8

Anything the govt is involved in is corrupt, don't trust them at all
THE TEXAS FOREST SERVICE SHOULD BE ABANDONED!  THIS IS CRAZY, WHERE IS GOV. ABBOTT IN THIS!
We don't have all the facts... Is it possible that the Cattle Barons want access to damaged grazing land and face huge costs and overgrazing their lands?  In Western Texas, huge blocks of land are owned by the State and historically are leased to local private ranchers for grazing. However, the lands left after the firers may need to be repurposed or replanted ... taking them out of service for several years.
More investigation needs to be made before we can safely know what is going on... Lots of local ranches will suffer at no one's fault due to the huge firer losses.
GOOD POINTS, COL!
If this is true the state of Texas is lost... the AG needs to stop government destruction of private airable lands. I suspect that the State of Texas is not doing this on PRIVATE Land... that it is State-owned and leased land... private land owners may sue if their land is being abused by the State.
Not to be anti-private enterprise... but to be fair... I suspect cattle owners are upset with the State taking damaged grazing lands out of service... that the Cattle Barons are feeling the pinch for leased grazing and want to use State land, while their fire-damaged private ranges recover.
This may be a sign of greed and cattle ranchers wanting cheap grazing lands to support their herds.
