I live in west central Indiana and there are a lot of strip mines here. There is one just a mile south of me. At least around here, they will pay you for your house and improvements, and I hear they do pay well, more than you would get on the open market. BUT I do know what you are talking about. it really sucks to see a family like that who really cares about the place get taken off the ol homestead. The mines do reclaim and around here they seem to do I better job of it than I thought they would, some mines are put back into farmland a year after the coal is out. Black beauty mine in Farmersburg IN has acres of hay ground, wheat, soybeans, and I am sure there is corn too. That mine is on the move south and they have one of the largest draglines in the world. boy that thing sure moves the earth and doesn"t take long to go a mile or two. The mines here have wiped out a lot of good farmland, great woods over the years. The mines that ran back in the late 1800 and early 1900s just left the spoil banks sitting and the only thing that land is good for now is ponds and fishing cabins. There are 1000s of acres around here in Sullivan, Vigo and Clay countys that were just left by those old mines. Now that is sad!

Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
