...Wright Dickinson, 32, fourth-generation cattleman, lean as a post, had one troubled eye on the weather reports of storms tumbling over his family's land along the Green River in Wyoming and Colorado, the other on news accounts of plans to raise the $1.86 grazing fee (a cow and her calf for a month) to $3 or maybe $5 or even $10.
