Compensation What do Landowners really want

[cakadu]

Cowdog, who you and Oilman are do not matter to me. My concern and quite likely my cynicism come to the fore whenever I hear someone say, "Hi, I'm from....(take your pick about government, industry or what have you)and I'm here to help.

I can agree with you about the cold and the work load increasing. At least for the next few days, it should be a whole lot less work and pretty enjoyable.

Hope the calves are healthy - I know that the lambs are much happier now.

cakadu: glad to see that not everyone has taken their marbles and gone home.
Oilman's entry in to the debate does not surprise me. Oilman whoever he or she was is someone from the industry frustrated by the resistance of landowners to CBM and the EUB's attitude that only serves to complicate issues. The Surface rights Board is swamped to the point that there is huge waiting lists, therefore it is not unlikely industry would look for ideas where they could find them.
Anyway have a lovely lucky lambing.
