12 years ago my wife and I bought a non operational farm outside Ironton Ohio. We moved there thinking it would be for the better. As it was, mid 91 -92, I cna't remember a single day that it did not rain within a 24 hour period. Talk about depressed!! And those people haven't a clue what snow is. Something I need to see frequently. Anyway, the person we bought that farm from ahd the same set up as you Slippy. What he did was to convince Ashland oil to test bore for natural gas and maybe a little oil. They had to make the roads (which ended up being many overgrown cart paths) for them to tests. BTW, it was determined not enough gas/oil for them to pursue it. We were the only ones on that long country road that owned the mineral rights to the property. You may consider soemthing like this if gas/oil are in your area. It was quite common not to many years ago to see the wells all over that area and across the river in W.VA on various farms.
