I live between Calvin Linart and McIntyre Rds. on 528.I would say I live about two miles west of 371.I live on approx. 3&1/2 to 5 acres.It isn't much but it's mine.I found some papers that have my land listed as NE1/4 ofNE1/4 sec 35-19-10.Township 19 north range 10 west.
My kin have leased thier land in Bossier Parish for $5600.00
an acre.Chesepeek(sp?) leased thier rights.I know these things differ depending on location and company that you deal with.I would bow to those with more knowledge than I on this subject.Snakestewart...I hope this helps.
