Solar farms and the destruction of farm land enrages me to the level very few things do.
It’s a huge racket. Especially in Georgia.
I kinda disagree. I live in farm country, and I can say for certain there is tons of land available for all purposes. That small family farm profitable? Not on your life, unless you have at least two people working full time jobs. Like the farm next door, and the farm around the corner. Most people keep animals for the property tax benefit. Or else grow trees for the same reason. You have over 10 acres, you have a conservation agreement in place for ten years ar a time, (actually a deterrent to development.) Or you get on a government program that grows flowers for butterflies, or thin dense woods in to food growing areas for turkeys, and other wildlife etc.
Priorities, that’s all. What’s a bigger waste of land, a solar farm or a new golf course cutting through forested land? Or farm? Georgia is the one of the leading power producers in the country. We should keep it that way. The food grown on that land, unless it was maybe chicken houses, was likely never going to land on your table anyway.
