Farmers are being pressured to sell their land to this. Not good!

Solar companies got slush funded by the Obama admin. They don't make money. They're using your tax money to buy up all of the real estate.

Its harassment , each time they contact you

Some crops do well under solar panels. It's about knowing how to do both to maximize the benefits of each. That being said, offering 40k a year to a 70 year old is betting on him dying sooner than later and getting the land for pennies on the dollar. I'm sure it's worth more than 25 million and that same farmer could put that into a trust/annuity that funds his retirement, and his descendants lives for generations if managed right. 100 acres of solar panels literally can generate a million+ a month.

Great video, it's a tough decision for struggling farmers that work hard. Struggle on with an unknown future or sell out. 😢

Great! Agreed. But where's all the outrage over oil rigs and fracking...........how about strip mining............or mountain top removal coal mining...........excessive nutrients in runoff from development into wetlands causing algae blooms, fish kills, and sea grass bed destruction...........then there is flood control everywhere draining and drying up swamps and wetlands.............total destruction of old growth forests...........I could go on and on. I have lived in Florida all my life and have lived first hand what development and greed has done. My grandfather's 100 acre landscape nursery that included giant native Magnolia and Hickory trees is now a subdivision. Everything is now a commodity. The day is coming when a subscription service will be required to breath. Good luck with that.

Sure, fight progress.
Thanks a lot, Luddite.

Could be worse , could be haarp.

This is just anti-solar propaganda masquerading as eco consciousness.

Don't do it!!

better keep these lands to what its best used for, and been for many years. cause once they get used for other non natural things, we'll be suffering from it in the future.
idk why these companies are getting priority over Nature, like their greed is bigger than a lasting, livable world for future generations.

STOP.....
PARTICIPATING.....
IN THE "AMERICAN DREAM"
IT'S A GIANT LIE

Since he old he need to be careful. They might try and off him and steal that land from him.

The thing is since he is up in age and when he passes his kids might sell. That is the scary part. Young people want that money.

We have sheep grazing under the panels.
Grass doesn't grow as fast but it still grows and the sheep use them as shelter.

I half expected the news you being the new owner ro save the farmland 😅

Batteries and overhead wires?? Tf are you talking about? Thats not any solar farm I've seen

This young lady is a hero to me- stay strong young lady and God bless ur endeavors- if I or ur neighbor sell demand huge $ upfront so u can compete to buy up other farms and keep as much of the country- country!!!

you can farm well with solar on the land .
what about climate change hippy

Ok chill dawg just cuz you don’t like it.

But his ungrateful kids will
We’re doomed!

DEMOCRAT POLICIES ARE ANTI- AMERICAN POLICIES!!! DEMOCRATS WANT TO KILL THE IDEA OF A FREE AMERICA- AND A FREE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!

BTW, my wife loves the t-shirt, lol.

If you want solar, put some panels on your roof. Those solar farms and wind turbines are horrific eye sores and eco-unfriendly scams. Unfortunately, for every 99 people who will say No! There is always someone too ignorant or too greedy to turn down the 30 silver coins being offered.

It's not solar - it's Chinese investors trying to buy up land in America.

We cant win. It will all be taken unfortunately.

I will farm his land for him. I want a farm so badly but land is overpriced now.

He's gonna sell...

One medical even and one big bill... He'll sell


YOU better prepare accordingly.

They should be getting no less than 6 figures a year...highway robbery

Wow...the gov wants to suffer and starve the American people.

Let’s not forget they leave the junk behind when it is broken.

Have any Chinese companies been interested in your land?

Amd ppl say solar and wind is green energy lol tell me you live in the city without telling me

SOLAR FARMS ARE JOKE AND POLITICANS THAT PUSHES THIS AGENDA WILL CAUSE FARMERS AND ITS CITIZENS TO STRAVE BECAUSE THE FARMLAND ONCE HAD IS GONE AND ONCE IT GONE YOU CANT GET THE FARMLAND BACK
WITHOUT FARMER YOUY CANT FEED NEW YORK STATE OR ENTIRE USA PERIOD AND GATES IS ONE OF THEM BUYING UP USA FARMLAND AS WELL AS FOREIGN COUNTRIES

It frequently happens that a farmer will die, and his relatives are not interested in doing farm work. They will sell the land to anyone who will give them quick cash, so they can go lay on the beach or move to elsewhere. That's when the solar companies take over, or even worse, the Chinese; no telling what they are going to do with the land.

The goal is to cripple the U.S.
Without farms, we have no food.🤷‍♂️

Check the route 32 in FREEHOLD NY😢😢😢

Disgusting

"progressives" at work... Good on you both.

In California we have solar farms in areas of the desert. Or on top of parking lots or buildings. There are a few on farmland, but not many. Why would anyone put solar panels in fertile arable land?!

Not to mention we all might starve to death without farms.

Why are solar farms dystopia? You voted that Muppet into office 😂😂😂

its "data centers" in my area.....

Looks like America wants to create a food desert. So people can eat all the industrial plant based foods.

If you’re a land owner, do not sell. At least don’t sell to a big business.

Lease it

The amount of debt leverage and financing farms need these days is diabolical. Usury is unsightly and needs to be aggressively illegal again. Need right to repair laws on the books that don't give exemptions to companies like Deere, too.

That’s less than 3.5 k a month. Not worth it. Would still have to work unless you have hella saving which I’m guessing most farmers don’t have hundreds of thousands saved up.

40K for all that land ?
