In New Mexico, 1975, ranchers went to court over compensation for lands taken for the missile ranges
The Court described a ranch as
"The rule is general that however nominally divided . . ., if the whole area is used together for a farm, ranch, or other appropriate purpose, it is to be considered one property. Moreover, the fact that different portions of a farm, ranch, or other rural holdings were acquired from different persons, or are otherwise held under different titles, will not prevent its being treated as an entirety in the assessments of damages for a taking of a part, if the whole area is held and operated as a single property." (omitting citations; emphasis added)); see also 6 ALR 2d 1217 § 9.
Ranchers on State land got compensated. Ranchers under Federal Law, Taylor Grazing Act were ignored.
Pay attention! Learn from court cases.
Water is gold.
Note [8] This is not to ignore the fact, however, that these are situations where the water is found on the land leased from the State and in such instances, of course, the value of the land leased from the State is not negligible.
