Here is a useful benchmark for Ohio mineral owners. The Bureau of Land Management leased 40 parcels in Monroe and Washington counties — 2,776 acres of Wayne National Forest — for $11.09 million. That works out to roughly $4,000 per acre. It’s the first lease sale in the forest since March 2017. Two Pennsylvania-based companies were among the winning bidders. Environmental groups say the sale violates federal environmental law. How does that compare with offers you’ve seen?
