She also asserted that the company had refused to show the landowners the appraisals on which they based their offers of 80 percent of appraised value. She said the company had refused to make any deviations in the line, even though the property owners said it would take their best bottom land. 'By moving a very short distance, they could avoid our best land," she said. Mitchell's statements were backed up by Donald L. Mitchell, K.D.
