JRthefarmer - 6/12/2022 14:53 Just curious what you guys think of this situation. I have a pasture adjacent to a lake the county owns. In the past (before we ever owned it since mid 90's), the cows have always drunk from the lake, stood in it, etc. Pasture owner took care of weeds, etc. I believe someone has a grudge and is trying to stir things up as I've encountered several things the last couple weeks. A county commissioner stated to me at a meeting I was at that someone "brought to their attention" that I was using the county's grass rent free. I said I haven't done anything different in the last 25yrs since we've owned it and previously. About a 10-12yrs ago, I fenced off the lake to restore the bank and help with erosion, cows in the water, etc. and piped rural water to the pasture. The part between the lake and the fence is in CRP (about 6ac), and I collect a payment for that, which apparently is the county's land. Anyway, I'm wondering what my options are at this point to squash this thing or straighten it out for the future. There is supposedly about 14ac of pasture that the county says it theirs, I don't think it's that much, but not sure as they just google mapped it or something. Is adverse possession an option here? If the county decides to do something with the land, is there anything on my end to do? I'm not sure at this point if there is something more behind this whole thing or if the county is going to pursue something more, but I just want to be prepared on my end the best I can.
