I currently live in western Mahoning County. Lots of people around here either inherited or cheaply purchased large plots of current or old farmland. Some are getting very nice returns on those purchases considering some of the advance money on the leases represent several multiples of the original purchase price.

In my area, we have one or two wells running and lots of testing being done and permits being drawn.
