Is it any wonder property values near solar complexes go down?
This is the signage you’re staring at out your back window. It obliterates any semblance of a viewshed, pastoral history, and the American agricultural way of life.
The same thing would happen if a Walmart or any other industrial complex was suddenly allowed to be built next to your house.
Except a Walmart can’t do that. It has to follow zoning. Everyone around you has to follow the town zoning, or they’ll be fined.
Unless you own a foreign solar corporation. Then you can break from our American zoning.
That’s what makes this more than a “personal decision” to alter your land. It causes a “take” in property values for everyone in the greater area. And it’s causing in-fighting among families and siblings that have been the backbone of our rural villages for generations.
It’s a massive money-laundering operation between New York State and foreign corporations intent on grabbing subsidies, credits, and locking American farmland into 40+ year leases.

The prince ran away from the castle. The king 👑 put out a reward 💰 for any information on the princes whereabouts.
A horseman arrived from a faraway village saying he knew where the prince was.
The king asked: How do you know it's the prince?
How did he know?
Ok, this is for farmers.
My 5x5 round haylage bales are going up $20 each! I use 500 per year. That’s $10k. I see no way I can recoup that. I JUST raised my prices - the market only bears so much with supermarket crap on deep discount.
What are you all doing to recoup making/buying hay this year?
