Apr. 1: Hussman Ranch: Preserving a Way of Life for Generations
There's something special about preserving tradition and keeping cattle ranches together across generations.  One of the unique ways to do so is with a conservation easement – which is a means for ranching families to gain some of the value of the development rights on their land while ensuring that their operations will always remain open space.  Reporter Brian Baxter takes us to the western edge of Nevada for more.
