A long story and comments here.
5 years ago in my area of Michigan the road commision sent out a plan in the local paper explaining the expansion of the main road. The plans included "alternative plans" to put in a bypass road right through private property (over 50 homes on large lots would have been affected) and a large cry went out in the local paper in 2-3 week time frame and 200+ people showed up from the town to hear and voice opinions. Sometimes when it affects many people, the whole town will show up. (I live in area that is Middle and upper middle class homes on 2.5, 5, 10 acre lots)
We were successful in making sure that the road commision and any contractor would not get to put in the bypass road. (The main road will get expanded to a 4 lane road + a middle turning lane, now it is a 2 lane road) But 5 years later and the road is still not worked on other then small sections in front of the local lumber yard and the Mcdonalds and the high school. When I built my house 6 years ago my neighbor and I needed power lines ran from the main road. Detroit Edison wanted a 660 foot easment 30' wide down the length of my property and my neighbors property and we both said "NO f ****** way" We gave them a 20' by 30' right of way for the pole at the corner and then we both have under ground cable to our houses. If Edison were to blast down my trees for an easement I would sue the He!! out of them. The best advice I can give you is sell the land while you can and take what you can, even if it means stealing a piece of equipment, I know that stealing is wrong but they are stealing from you, and destroying your property. Another comment--My neighbors dad has a neighbor that owns 20 acres. A tree harvester went to the land owner and said "can we pay you for some trees that we want" (can of worms in that statement) well they ripped out many trees and left a huge mess. I will never allow a company to come in and take some trees for a small cash amount. It is sickening to say the least at what is happening to land owner rights. But the best advice is to sell now. The government wants all of us sheep to live on 1 acre or smaller lots in the suburbs. Good Luck.
