Here in WI we've got quite a bit of older wind and a lot of new solar. The wind farms don't take up much farmland ,but they got regulated out by a restriction requireing they be no closer than 1/2 mile from an objecting homeowner. The Solar builders have come more recently and got the state to offer special rights to build solar on any farm land ,even land that has special restrictions on development. The solar farm is not even taxed more than farm land. The solar developer agrees to pay a signifigant yearly fee based on electricity produced to the local and county goverment and the going rate to the farmer is about 4 -5 times the going land rental rate ($1000-1600/acre).The land has to be fenced and ground cover established ,but they don't like to put the panels up high enough to graze under except with sheep. We should have more restriction on using high quality farnland ,It should be taxed at full value as developed land, and the panels should be up high enough t0.graze livestock .
