The Oakleys
When you accompany the Oakleys to the bank to pay back the loan they took for their ranch, the banker introduces you all to Garret. He offers to buy the ranch flat out for two million dollars, but Cliff angrily refuses. It isn't until Cliff has a heart attack that he entertains the idea of selling because his sons are fighting and he can't handle the ranch on his own. In Chapter 12, when you convince him not to sell, he backs out of a verbal agreement with Garret. Duke and Sawyer tell him off, and Garret doesn't take their rejection of his offer kindly. Later, a fire breaks out and destroys their barn, a flash snowstorm hits, and some cattle go amuck. While they don't suspect Garret of the snowstorm, Dallas says he wouldn't put it past Garret to be responsible for the fire and fence.

The Mendozas
When you go to talk to the Mendozas, you find out that Garret approached them with an offer but they blankly refused him. You deduce that because the Mendozas have a more prosperous ranch, that Garret is setting his sights on the Oakleys first. Once the Oakleys crumble, the Mendozas will lose strength and would be easier to buy out.

Your Character
In Chapter 15, Brooklynne comes up with a plan to expose Garret and enlists your help to sweet-talk Garret into boasting about his illicit activities. He takes the bait, and he is arrested for his crimes after she airs the video on her blog channel.

Trivia

 * AgraCorp is a global leader in agricultural development and innovation. However, they were in the news for GMO (genetically modified organism) products. As a representative of AgraCorp, Garret spins them as a responsible, positivity-oriented company, dedicated to making the world a better place. They want to support Montana agriculture, but the small ranch industry is dying and large-scale mechanized-farming is the only business model that makes financial sense.
 * He says he was named after his great-great-grandfather.
 * His crimes include arson and destruction of property.
