Sometimes farmland actually benefits from solar panels. In sunny and dry areas, providing shade can improve crop yields and/or reduce the need for watering. |
@pieist @mackayim2022 100% agree but in the absence of sane land use regulation ... 10+ acre solar arrays are going up all over in Minnesota, and from a wildlife point of view 10 acres with a fence around it and racks of panels, with mowing a couple times a year is way more habitat than 10 acres of corn monoculture sprayed down with Monsanto's finest.
