The future of #farming doesn’t choose between producing clean #energy and producing high-quality #food. It does both. 🐑☀️

Our family business operates right at the intersection of agricultural tradition and a new technological frontier.

Prove me wrong…..

Taking one percent of farmland to produce electricity does not make a dent in the oversupply of corn in the US.

One percent of farmland in solar makes a huge dent in our electricity needs as a nation.

Controversial statement in rural America.

@GGunthorp Powerful 4 minutes!!

Graham Merriwether, filmmaker that did the Farmers For America documentary narrated by Mike Rowe, swung by the farm a week and half ago. His words are too kind!

Used to be 60 million sheep in US.

Now there are 5 million sheep in US.

I know solar on farmland is controversial but solar grazing could make a dent in the 70% of lamb in US that’s imported. Solar fixes land access for pasture sheep producers like my family.

Bash away…

Re-watch Part 1 of the #Georgia SFS livestream preview series where we reverse engineer the macro case for #agrivoltaics and #ecovoltaics by working backwards from the energy and agribusiness dynamics roiling global markets and affecting ag producers https://t.co/QLavmd2pA8

We took the old girls south today on our long drive to stockpile at the south farm. Our county sheriff is great. We had US 20 blocked for about 1 minute and 20 seconds. Very smooth.

Was just on WLPO in Illinois with @RadioRodThorson talking about #agrivoltaics and the upcoming @SolarFarmSummit at McCormick Place in Chicago.

Countdown to #SolarFarmSummit 2025! August 4-7th is rapidly approaching. Who’s ready?

Let’s take time to discuss how livestock & other enterprises (see the pumpkin patch) can be incorporated on #solar.

[iSEE at U of I @sustainILLINOIS]

iSEE's 6th Critical Conversation was a big success, with participants sharing thoughtful views on solar farms, #agrivoltaics & more!
The keynote by Karen Maguire of @USDA_ERS on the tradeoffs of solar development in rural areas is now available online!

🌧️ weather
🚜 rising costs
💲 land access
These are some challenges our nation’s farmers and ranchers face daily. Our Brighter Future Fund provides grants to make it a little easier.

Take a look inside the 2024 @SolarFarmSummit! Nowhere else are this many leaders gathered to solve one of our greatest land use challenges: how to integrate agriculture w/ #solar energy so both industries can thrive. AFT was on hand to promote our #SmartSolar initiative. @NREL
