    It seems to me that gramps did not sell the rights, the state just took them. Same as when my dad bought land from FLB who had repo the land from his uncle. Dad had no choice as they just kept 50%. I was not around when a lot of this went down but i fail to understand why mineral rights were...

    No, i know this will not happen but i would push for it and big time for FLB which i will assume is Farm Credit Systems right now and the same for the state. Neither should be in the business of owning mineral rights just because at one time they took the land away due to lack of payment by...

    What was the thinking back then to sell this land and then keep the mineral rights? After the thirties my dad bought his uncle's 3 quarters of land from FLB they had reposes from him. As i understood, paid $2,700 for those 3 quarters. Sold the uncle's house for $900 and crop 30 acres. Balance...
