In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of) nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.
This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires.

You left a question for me on 6/30 and I apologize for not getting back, I just checked my page. My only problem with Twin Cities was the reduction in bonus offer with reduction in percentage of signed leases. I felt this put pressure on those who were uncertain about signing leases since they felt they could be letting down and affecting their neighbors. If someone is uncertain, they need to wait to sign a lease. This involved my commercial property on North Market St. I have been involved with Manna on my Cross Lake properties.
Randy, I cannot believe that they can legally get people to sign leases like this. I signed out of young stupidity. I'll accept that...but I wonder how many others are doing it blindly. Sorry your friends in O&G are not such nice people. Hard to believe you are one of them. Thanks for the help.
What if depths are not specified in a lease but you know they are concentrating in the CV?
