A new non-profit is looking to help landowners navigate renewable energy projects on their properties, like windmills or solar leases. Leaders say they got their start at the request of farmers.
“We did research with about 100 farmers last spring to test our idea, and one of the biggest things they asked for was just that; a trusted third party, unbiased, and nonpartisan, that can bring some truth to them in the language they are understanding, on how it’s going to impact my land and my farming operation. The other thing they wanted was the ability to talk to other farmers and ranchers who have been through this, so part of what we’ll do is peer-to-peer networking,” said Jeff Risley.
Renewable Energy Farmers of America says they will also offer professional services, helping farmers answer questions about existing leases and their impact on each operation.
