May are hanging tough ... but it is an uncertain time. They know that until they own and control the project, they are subject to a complete or partial cut off anytime by the government, something they never would have imagined prior to 2001.
Sadly, some have chosen to sell out because of that uncertainty. Most are trying to sell to other individuals willing to take the risk to come in and farm, or to existing farmers in the area.
Best Fregards.
Humm you mentioned "...until they own and control the project..." and I have to wonder...will the farmers now be billed for this project and have to pay once again before they can own and control it? Any idea?
