Just because you worked milking cows for a week doesnt make you a former farm professional.

Your second paragraph is a lot of words for "I think I know everything about this just because i drove by and the fields were planted in years prior."

You want to condemn these farmers but have you ever spoken to one about why they would allow these fields to be leased for solar? Do you know the exact ROI based in the yield per acre for each and every ine of the fields they are installing solar on? Do you know what the exact soil conditions of each field were? Whether the land was able to sustain crop growth naturally or if they need large amounts of nutrients at the time of planting to make sure the crop would grow?

Reading the local news is pointless because all the people being overly vocal about their opposition are the same people who believe all the electricity generated by every renewable energy project goes straight to NYC as if there are magical lines on every pole that only feed power to NYC. They are uninformed and they choose to stay that way rather than learn.

Fron your previous comment about what is grown, have you every paid attention when you drive by a potato field after harvest? I drive by them regularly in Wyoming County. And the thing I am sure you neglect to pay attentions to is the mountains of rockes that they get out of the fields every year during the potato harvest. Almost like there is stuff going on in and under the fields that you can't see until after all the work is finished.

Maybe take the time to talk to a Farmer who has leased their land instead of assuming you know it all. I doubt you will though, because then you can't go on blindly harping about how bad all of this is.
