[AFMUG] ROW

[Adam Moffett]

We're marking pole locations and some of them are in agricultural 
areas.  I will feel like a vandal when I whack down some corn to make a 
spot for my stake.  Aside from my feelings, am I going to run into any 
other problems?  Can the farmer come after me for the $10 worth of crop 
I killed?  What about lost revenue from the space in his field that 
becomes unusable because of the pole?

I also had a homeowner complain about a pole we were marking because it 
would ruin his view.  He was nice about it, and it so happened that 
moving the spot to the corner of the property didn't hurt us any, so we 
accommodated him....if I chose to stick to my first spot, he has no 
recourse as long as I'm still in the ROW, right?  My only liability for 
being a jerk about it would be that I have to feel like a jerk, right?
