“ Back then local workers were hired to carry out exploratory drilling, digging up hundreds of core samples, tubes of earth, for testing. Stacks of them are stored in metal sheds on Beverly Beethe’s farm, where the mine would be located. Residents signed land leases with the company, which eventually bought 226 acres. Some landowners netted lucrative deals and could receive royalty payouts of as much as $10 million a year.”

But the deals created bad blood. Some residents who were left out were miffed. Others like Ms. Beethe question whether they got a fair deal, especially in an area where the price of farmland has recently skyrocketed.

“The way I got treated, I hope that they don’t treat the community that way,” she said.

There’s a reason the world should support Ms. Beethe and her disdain of the Niocorp project. It’s pathetic to see how this corporation is treating the good people of Nebraska. These city slickers come in to middle America and take advantage of these rednecks. I support Ms. Beethe for being a martyr of the people of the land. They are stealing her land for greed. She has been screwed over by those city slickers.
