"The Crop Is Dying As We Watch It": ND Farmers Trying To Cope With Fracking Waste, Toxic Dumping

[misterhighwasted]

9. Hello neighbor! Then you know exactly what I speak of. We were blessed.

State Law says there can be 7 wells pr section of land.
However, I am told that oil co's. are currently petitioning the State to allow for 12 per section.
That's a lot of wells flaring & a lot of oil to be moved out of state, and a lot of frack waste to be dumped in that small corner of the world.

My grandfather & his siblings all settled & farmed near Killdeer. They were Germans from Russia. They found that part of the USA most familiar to the home they left a world away.
Like your family, they took pride in their work, their days were long & their homes, churches, & towns were built to last generations.
They had music, laughter, & some pretty good home brew to unite the community, on the time off from working the land.
They were careful considerate stewards of the prairie land they claimed.
You & I also lived the best of that lovely peaceful place that barely anyone in the USA ever knew existed.

Nice to meet you.
Peace & happiness & good memories to you & yours.
