Business is booming for my father-in-law in central KS (lumberyard & contractor), the higher oil goes, the more people want to remodel, build, and add on. Out there most people own acreage, some farmed, some not. It's common to have multiple wells on your property. Even only getting a fraction of the proceeds, which is common due to the high cost of drilling and servicing wells, many people are getting 5 and 6 figure monthly checks. Even low output wells that were previously capped have been re-opened, and new technology is helping to boost production in previously low-yield wells. It's very common, repeated across the midwest.
