Renewable energy on farmland: A guide for young producers
What should young, beginning and small producers know before signing a renewable energy lease?
On this episode of Brownfield’s Next Gen Podcast, Kellan Heavican and Erin Anderson talk with Laura Priest of the Center for Rural Affairs about what farmers and landowners need to know when considering wind and solar lease agreements.
Laura walks through the process from the initial conversation with a developer to site evaluations, negotiations and the final lease. She also explains what producers should consider when it comes to payment structures, lease length, succession planning, land use, agrivoltaics and protecting the farm for the next generation.
