I have worked with a few farmers putting wind generators on their property. It's always a big issue, no one wants them in their backyard blocking their view. It honestly is a way to help a farmer stay in business, reduce their utility bill, and maybe make a few extra bucks. I am all for it if that is the way it is going. If it is someone not farming and just wanting to plop 8 of them down then I am not as supportive. We have seen a few "get rich" type schemes with these at work for people with land, but aren't traditonal farmers. Just about every state and Federal Agency does not consider wind turbines "farming". Typically a lengthy study needs to be done to determine if it is even feasible to put one of these up. At a cost of $400,000 for a half megawatt generator and up most people are going to put them in an area worth while. It's really a toss up... look at a wind mill and buy energy a neighbor made or energy that was created from oil/coal/nukes. And just as a reference, the last project I worked with the 3 lane highway a quarter of a mile from the subdevelopment complaining about the turbines made about 30 decibels higher ambient noise then the 5 proposed 3 megawatt generators would have. Study was done by an indpenedent group not affiliated with the farmer or the people in the development that the town hired.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
