Mineral rights do not convey with this property – back in the 1980’s when farmers were struggling, a large insurance company bought the mineral rights of many farms in this area. A very small amount was paid, mainly for a tax write off for the insurance company. There’s no known minerals or exploration of any type on any of the countless farms that signed up like this one was. “Bringing back to original condition” & the lack of minerals in the area make this close to a non-issue. Call for more details.
