The fourth installment of Granite State Graziers’ Winter Learning Series tackles the somewhat controversial topic of Solar panel arrays on agricultural land. Some feel it is an inappropriate use of farmland, and others contend it can fit well, providing the farm with multiple crops from the same parcel of land—electricity, meat from grazing animals, vegetables and/or pollinator-friendly plants. This presentation looks at what’s involved in this multi-use of the land and what needs to be considered as the number of these enterprises continues to grow.
