Be prepared for permanent frustration. I am sure that there are good pipeline companies, but my experience has been that they all play similar games. Locally, we had an old line that was originally 60' right of way. When the company decided that wasn't adequate they increased it to 100' with no additional compensation. They claimed that the original contracts gave them the authority to protect their pipe, and the additional easment was within their rights. It was a taking in my opinion. These same companies change ownership often, and they utilize subcontractors so that the liabilities are not direct. It is difficult to know who you are dealing with. As far as use of the land goes, once that land is excavated it never returns to the same level of productivity that it had before, and they have more rights to the land than you do but taxes are still your responsibility. When they have a problem your crop is just a something else for them to fix. it doesn't matter if it is too muddy or if you would be able to harvest in two weeks, they want access and they will do what they want. On the positive side they are fairly generous with damages.
