2 Texas Billionaires Bought Up 38,000 Acres of Idaho Land
January 11th, 2016Via: The Olympian:
Over the past six years, two Texas billionaire brothers have bought about 38,000 acres of land on the Joseph Plains in Idaho County and apparently have closed access to local residents for hunting and recreation.
According to the Idaho County Assessor’s Office, beginning in 2008, Farris and Dan Wilks of Cisco, Texas, started purchasing ranches, including the Evergreen Land and Cattle Co., owned by the Hitchcock family, and the Robbins-France ranch in western Idaho County, worth a combined total of $2.4 million. The final transaction took place in September.
Several attempts to reach the Wilks brothers or their spokespeople for comment were unsuccessful.
