Re: [AFMUG] ROW

They seem to plant right up to the ditch. It never occurred to me that maybe they weren't supposed to. I'll have to look into that.
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.

    A pipeline is a hell of a lot more disruptive than a plow or drill.

    Around here they can plant over any ROW that's not road and the
    utility reimburses for crop damage. ROW would probably be a lot
    more expensive if it didn't cover crop damage.

    They are allowed under the assumption that it could be destroyed.
    Pipelines typically do not use State/County ROW.  They don't ever
    want to have to move them.  They paid $8/ft for a pipeline going

    in here for easement access on a project next to our fiber build. 
    Homeowners are pissed they can't get money from us because we are

    using the State ROW.

        Are they actually supposed to be planting that close to the
        road in the ROW?
