I am in PA and the landowners pretty much rolled over for them. Everyone thought they were going to get a windfall from the oil companies. HA. Not necessarily so.

I've seen way too many articles about ruined land, streams, and poisoned livestock. One farmer found a strange lock on his OWN gate to his own land. He couldn't even get access to his pasture. The frackers have all the rights and once the landowner signs, his rights end. And the payouts have been mere pittances considering all the damage and inconvenience. We are still holding out..... and holding our breath.
