In 2021, a North Carolina farmer struggling to expand his sheep business found 33 acres beneath solar pane – The Economic Times

Alex Greer strategically utilized a program that links farmers with solar developers to enhance his sheep business. By securing grazing contracts across 38 acres in Asheboro and Rowan counties, he faced hurdles like controlling vegetation and installing predator-proof fencing. Interestingly, studies indicate that sheep grazing can bolster soil health and remain financially viable compared to mechanical mowing over time. Greer’s journey exemplifies the promising intersection of solar farming and agriculture.
