If a new transmission line is built within a corridor, the transmission company would have to acquire an easement for the line by purchasing it or through eminent domain, where just compensation would be paid to the landowner. The landowner’s ability to use their property would be governed by the easement agreement, or the eminent domain proceedings. Typically, when an easement is acquired, landowners can reserve for themselves any use of the property that does not interfere with the easement holder’s use. Therefore, the only physical loss would be where towers are located, but there’d be additional hassle for navigating equipment around the towers and possibly under the overhead wires for regular farming activities.
