Abstract
Kenneth McClain, a rancher and a millwright, talks about the challenges of being a cow-calf cattleman who leases land in the Manatee County area. He specifically discusses land use by cattle men, leasing land for ranching, land owners selling land that ranchers are leasing, moving cattle, pasture maintenance, the beef cattle industry, developers and greed, rural development in Parrish Florida, and the migration of Florida farmers to Tennessee. He also discusses the history of land leasing in Florida.
