Here in the Midwest, we understand farming and want to preserve our prime farmland. In our home state of Minnesota, over 47% of our total land is USDA Prime Farmland! Of that, only 0.03% is currently being used for solar to harvest the sun.🌞 That's less than the amount of land used by golf courses, abandoned prime farmland, and lost to suburban sprawl! 🌱 America depends on land to grow food, build communities, and power our lives. Responsible land use means balancing all of those needs.⚖️ Solar land leases allow farmers to maintain ownership of their land while diversifying their ag portfolio with a flexible land use option and allowing the land under the panels to rest. That's a win for our farmers and the rural communities we call home!
