"We're harvesting the sun's rays to produce something that human's want and need. Back in the day, farmers raised oats and hay. That fueled the transportation of the time."

When I saw an opportunity to get onto solar ground farm I knew right away that was how I was going to be able to create generational wealth with my family and farm together again.

I know a lot of small farms out there are looking for those income streams and I can see solar grazing being one of the ways that could save the farm.

Renewable energy... it's not about new technology. It's about making life better for people.

The takeaway is that solar provided a change and we accepted and the doors that it's opened in different farming aspects...all kinds of opportunties are going to open because of solar.

One of the first things that we did as a county council was put in paramedics, and we couldn't afford them before.

Wind and solar projects aren’t just about clean power – they’re about empowering people by strengthening local economies and making communities more resilient.

Farmers and ranchers have always been at the heart of our rural communities. Now they’re part of something even bigger – they're contributing to our nation's energy independence by generating clean power, right on their own land.

Rural America has a vital role to play in supporting our nation's energy grid.

A better today.
A better tomorrow.
Join us and power up rural prosperity.
