Dave, we had a outfit around here a few months ago - talking big money down the road - "just sign on the dotted line". It was a "new" company so there was nothing about them on-line; they were "partnered" with a big name company but I couldn't find any connection. I believe some signed, some ran; I e-mailed some legals and never heard anything back. The first thing they wanted signed was a confidentuality agreement - actual figures may be hard to get from signers. I posted some figures a while back, you may find the entire thread interesting: http://talk.newagtalk.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=86923&mid=621895#M621895
We do not have the necessary transmission lines but there is talk of something going through the area. I think this outfit was merely a landman trying to tie up land, speculating on the future. I know one rancher in a high wind area who has land leased out for $3/A, has been waiting for a few years for development to begin. He told me that he's comfortable with the $3 every year and leave him alone. |
