Lac qui Parle County Minnesota | We had some land bought by the county 5 or so years back when they widened a county road. They used the average of the last three farm land sales in my area. They also added compensation for crops lost(they started after spring planting) and for inconvenience. They also let us decide where we wanted the field approaches and how many. The county engineer told us that while they can use eminent domain to complete the project, they've always had better luck trying to work with the land owner and making a decent off to start with. |
