“Leasing Farmland for Oil and Gas”

OLD WASHINGTON, Ohio — A new workshop by Ohio State University Extension will help you make heads or tales of an oil and gas lease.  “Leasing Farmland for Oil and Gas” takes place Thursday, April 23, from 6-8 p.m., at the Oscar Share Hall at the Guernsey County Fairgrounds, 335 Old National Road, Old Washington.

Clif Little of OSU Extension’s Guernsey County office will lead it. He said the program will help landowners better understand an oil and gas lease.   “Leasing farmland for oil and gas exploration is experiencing a revitalization,” he said. “Speculators and large land brokers are attempting to secure leases of large blocks of land. Leasing and drilling is expected to increase in our area.”
