Our family has a very unsatisfactory history with extraction of oil, which is almost completely gone on this ranch. And quite frankly, there had been an extraordinary amount of abuse from the oil companies once they leased, you know, the spillage, the damage, the rutting. So I had a bad taste in my mouth from that experience. And my family benefited.

Dad told me, he said he wasn't sure they would have gotten through the drought of the 50s had they not had the oil income. So I, okay, you... You made your point that this other form of income is helpful because, my God, we all face drought and bad markets and whatever. we're gambling every day in agriculture, in my opinion, no need to go to Vegas.

So anyway, I knew the benefits, but I also had this really bad taste in my mouth. And so I guess going to California and seeing how clean and well kept it was, was another thing that helped me move toward yes, because I was thinking, I was thinking, oh, we're just going to have more trash, more surface damage to the ranch, which was not true, which was absolutely.

In fact, I would say that wind farmers in general, they actually have to perform to a higher standard than other forms of energy extraction. And they do. I mean, I would give them this company that now owns this wind farm, I'd give them a gold star on their willingness to keep things clean, keep the gates shut. They tell us when we've got animals on the road.

We tell them when we see a problem with a turban. So it's been a good neighbor relationship for us. Again, that's where you've just got to know that that's going to happen before you'll say yes, I would think, you know.

Oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

Oh yeah.

Yes. Um, Let's fast forward. After this wind farm was built in 2005, my phone rang off the hook, Tanner. People heard the story of this Yahoo cowboy that somehow got a wind farm built on his ranch. They want to know how I did it. And so I became a consultant, especially for farmers and ranchers who were being approached. And I would tell them my story.

I told them what to watch out for, what I had learned at that point in time. And then eventually. Another gentleman approached me with a very different set of questions. And to make a long story short, I joined a development company in western Kansas that has developed a wind farm project there.
