You're probably talking about the easements. Those are different. Most state and county (for roads) ROW do not allow for any type of encroachment (farming or other) without permit or permission. The state/county ROW is not owned by the home/farmer. Planting in it will not provide for reimbursement in most states, because by law you are only allowed to plant on your property, around here the law on deeded property says something to the effect of, *"beginning at a point 30' from the centerline of the road at a marker at GPS location XYZ.."*. I found docs in the Illinois manual that talks about renting the ROW for crops, but I doubt most pay for that.
