A corridor across a farm rarely takes much acreage. It takes the ability to work the land either side of it.
A transmission line or a road corridor can divide a field, interrupt irrigation, block equipment routes and leave awkward corners that cannot be farmed economically.
Virginia values the land taken and the damage to the residue. On a farm the residue question is usually about workability rather than about acres.
