An advocacy group for farmers and ranchers in Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico says landowners should receive annual payments for having power lines built across their property. The Rocky Mountain Farmers Union also wants landowners to have a bigger say in placement of power lines. Landowners currently get 1-time payments from developers who build power lines on their land. The ability of developers to condemn land has fueled several disputes that have delayed power line projects. The farmers union says its proposal would speed up those projects and wind farm developments they serve.
