Title: Empower landowners to have a real say in the course of development on their land
Text: Agriculture: Doing it Right: "Surface Owner Consent: The best way to ensure responsible coal bed methane development is to empower landowners to have a real say in the course of mineral development on their land. Requiring methane operators to secure permission to drill from surface owners would greatly increase the ability of landowners to ensure responsible development."
