I guess, except that we haven't had production in about 15 years on the place, and in the last 5 it has scored about 240K in lease rights. (Should have been more.) Yes, we pay taxes on the 240K. We won't pay more until we lease the rights out again.
I'd like to get the rest of them, but why would they sell when it costs them nothing to keep them?
