Flo & David Minar & Cedar Summit WIN!!!
That says it all!
Here’s the full decision:
Minar Order_Buy the Farm
This is a big day, a victory for landowners who have a utility condemning their land for transmission. Over and over, the utilities are losing, and landowners’ rights are affirmed by the court. Yet because the utilities refuse to recognize their election of Buy the Farm (Minn. Stat. 216E.12, Subd. 4), landowners end up in a long involved and expensive legal wrangle — at what point will the court start holding utilities accountable for their abuse of process? Because their objections are so unreasonable, utilities should be required to pay for more than landowners expenses in standing up for their rights, there should be additional damages awarded, say for “intentional infliction of emotional distress†or Rule 11 sanctions, something to wake them up to the abusive nature of their challenges. The law is what it is, and as landowners have to continue to fight, it will probably become even more focused on landowner rights, session by legislative session, due to the utilities’ actions.
Take a few minutes today to let your state Representative and Senator know how important it is to protect landowner rights in utility condemnations and to uphold the Buy the Farm option!
Once more with feeling: CONGRATULATIONS, DAVE AND FLO MINAR!!!!

In the Roch Post Bulletin:
And ASAP, take a trip over to Cedar Summit Farm, have a look around, check out their pasture fed organic dairy cows, and give them a big THANK YOU to let the Minar’s know that you support their efforts to preserve landowner rights. Oh, and then there’s the milk… cheese… ice cream… and more! They’re located just north of New Prague, on Drexel Ave. (Co. Rd. 15), just past 260th (Co. Rd. 2).
