Montana landowners who say their property along the Yellowstone River has been soiled by oil that leaked from an Exxon Mobil Corp. pipeline are banding together to push the company to do more to restore the land.

A group of about 20 people who own hundreds of acres in the area met last night and agreed they would fight for complete cleanup and restoration of their land, said Kelly Goodman, who owns 100 acres off the river. A week after the spill, owners say cleanup crews have yet to visit some farms and some want independent air testing.
