[QUOTE="NDbowman, post: 369930, member: 1525"] I'm not supporting solar farms but in regards to hail we have used solar wells to pump water to cattle for a long time. The first one is probably 25 years old and still pumping water. The others are a bit newer and all are working fine. They've all been through hail storms and never been damaged. In regards to solar farms, I've heard about in other states what a mess it can lead to. Company comes in and offers a landowner a long term lease. Money is pretty good but in those farms they had to pour concrete pillars or foundation to mount panels on. Something like 4 feet deep. In the contract the company agrees to clean all this up and put the land back the way it was but the way they get out of it is to either file bankruptcy and quit or another company buys the solar farm and basically gets out of the contract. Landowner is left with the mess of all these concrete pillars in the ground making it virtually impossible to farm without a major cost in cleanup. [/QUOTE]
