Thanks, Keith, for giving us this extra forum for discussion of "all things mineral" in Holmes County, Ms. My family owns mineral rights near Tchula, and I am always scanning these boards for info about any news in the area.

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. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |
