I get paid annual rental on four quarters of land involving a total of 5 rights of ways. All are with Nova now called TransCanada. I like the annual rent but the company is always working to reduce the annual payment. The payment was to be 20% of land values but the company cheats on this and if you question their land values you find out that the easement I signed is not worth the paper it is written on except when it comes to the company's rights. Again, Nova/Transcanada gets away with this with the tacit approval of the Province of Alberta who is not on the farmers side when it comes to getting compensated for industry activity on our land.

farmers son: You are preaching to the choir here! I've heard all the stories of how Nova is playing games!
I agree 100% with you that there needs to be some meaningful changes and the landowner needs a better compensation formula! As I said I think Morton was promising that, but we have Ed Stelmach, and hopefully he won't forget where he came from?

Silverback the land is about 12mi/ from StAlbert and the going rate was in the 1600/2000/acre I am not sure why I got this much but I will certanly take it.
There was 2 diferent propertys sold here in the county of Barrhead close to where I live and they Brought. One at about 1080/acre not much buildings and a 900sq ft house the other about 800/acre but the land all needs worked and a lot of time to produce anything seems all the money is coming from south by people in the oil buiz.
My brotherinlaw at ponoka says his niebour sold 7 1/4s there for 3238/acre now that is in the 3.5mill range so how does any of that make sence.
