I know a recently retired landman.

He’s reminds of Tim Waltz.

Very feminine guy.

Having said that.

That tender little pooch made an azz load of money.

He would get ten of thousands of dollars in bonus pay.

The landmen I’ve dealt with were mostly shysters that tried to lease my minerals on speculation for cheap and resale them to bigger companies. They want to do a three year lease and never actually release the place tying it up for 3 years. Everytime there is a new area opened up around here they come out of the woodwork trying to tie up the surrounding land.

They were one of the reason I decided to start my own production company.

Exactly my experience. But…..we got paid. Kingdom Research. A company that somehow craps money. It’s all good….ill do it again someday. Till then, they can keep growing corn.

Only Hollywood could make a violent, blockbuster, suspenseful series about, what in reality, is a boring and tedious profession. What’s next? CPAs…maybe.

Wait…..I thought all landmen had fireman gear in their truck and did surface use and damage agreements in front of murdering drug runners.

With machine guns...

We had that already- Ben Affleck in the Accountant, excellent movie.

That's cause most was filmed in Ft.Worth

…or Iowa Haha
