Good question but I know that sometimes the power companies kind of do what they want including taking peoples property. If the farmers were using electricity it would probably be free.
The way I remember it was we could accept their non-negotiable offer, or face Eminent Domain. The State was prepared to simply take the land. It was the old cliche, “They made us an offer we couldn’t refuse”.
Exactly, I’ve heard stories about Eminent Domain with a Pennsylvania Pipeline project. With the Amish I guess they make a deal of wake up with their horses head in their bed! 🐴

Do we have to politicize the photo blogs, too? It’s one of the few escapes left.

Thanks David. I found it interesting that there were all these power lines in the middle of Amish farmlands.

I wonder if they’re collecting rent? When those lines were built across our farm, the power company paid us rent for use of the right-of-way.
