I just returned my signed contract to Florida Light and Power. They are one of the bigger wind producers in the country. They are planning a big project in Northeast SD next year. They sent a copy of the contract to look at and ask questions about. If we were interested, they would send three copies of the actual contract with the legal descriptions and payment terms. One copy to keep and two to send back. They would send the third one back when they signed it. If we signed within 30 days of getting the contract, they gave a $1000 signing bonus. The payment for the actual lease option is $1000 per year regardless of how many acres you have. That runs for 3 years. If they decide to renew the option for another 2 years, you get a renewal bonus of $1000 plus your annual $1000 payment. The tower payment varies according to the size of the turbine they put up. If you don't get a turbine, you have given them the easement rights to your land, if they put a road in they pay extra for that. If they bury power lines or go overhead they pay for that also. Everyone that had a chance to sign up did as far as I know. There was another company that was working the area that paid $3.75 per acre per year for the lease option and about the same per turbine-in the $5000-$7000 range. The lease runs for 50 years. I think most of the guys went with FLP as they paid the best up front. The contract was long but not that hard to decipher if you have ever read any contracts and have some understanding of how they read. My brother had an attorney look at his and thought it was ok.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
