A family member farms under windmills and he loves them for their extra income. None are located close to his farmstead. The devil is in the details, so read the offer carefully, ask a lot of questions, counter offer, and remember that anything not in writing on the final agreement will never happen.
Some questions I would ask are:
What are the payments for: the leasing right; when construction begins; annually for the life of the unit, at the end of the units life. What specific locations do they want to build on? What happens to the topsoil that is removed? Minimum setback from farmsteads, line fences, roads, neighbor's houses and other windmills? Do you have the right to reject any locations you don't like? What are your rights if the company builds on your neighbor's property and not on yours? Are annual payments fixed or indexed?
At the end of the windmill's life: Will all the equipment, foundations, access driveways, and the buried cables be removed? Will the topsoil be replaced? Will the company retain the right to install another windmill without a new agreement?
You would probably have the best bargaining rights by negotiating as a group with other farmers.
