Eckhardt, who has met with both Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., says he's still skeptical of the Agriculture Department's analysis of the House climate bill that says that farmers will make more money from trapping carbon in their soil and crops than they'll pay out in higher energy prices. 'I know my fuel will go up, I know my chemicals will go up. And the question that was asked at the meeting we had with them was how much? And their answer was not as much as you think it will. That's not an answer,' said Eckhardt. (AP Photo/Ed Andrieski)

The well pad now has three gas wells that have been drilled and are producing natural gas. The natural gas industry, which produces more gas here than nearly every other county in Colorado, has undergone tougher state environmental regulations, and lower natural gas prices have slowed many new drilling permits.
