Penn State's Wiki page

Penn State Cooperative Extensions have started their own Wikipedia page to educate landowners about natural gas drilling. The page features links to an "E-Classroom" and even a royalty calculator. Here's the link: http://naturalgaslease.pbwiki.com/

Megan, I'm moving to Pleasant Mount, PA in hopes of starting a CSA organic farm. My father in-law owns the land and signed up for the gas leasing.
Has there been talk about farming and the consequences of the drillers?

I'm no expert, but I did find a link on Penn State's Wiki page that may be helpful. It's titled "What Every Farmer Should Know About Mining Law." It's dated 2004, but you may find some useful information.
