Wind turbines are going up about 30 crow miles away. Very many of them, I can see all their lights blinking on my once completely dark horizon in the middle of nowhere. Some family has been fighting them.
I keep getting a direct mailed ad for a solar farm type deal, got two last week, all from the same place. They say they pay up to $1250/acre/year. "20-40 year lease available" innovativesolarfarms.com (not linked on purpose, but that's the address) They say they need those large transmission lines, which those haven't been installed yet but will be soon, "they" took 8 acres of mine as it passes by one corner (I'm not supposed to have any tower leg on my property, just the easement clips me, and the map looks like one leg of one tower might be in the fence line).
I have a few hundred acres the panels could go on, but my guess is it wouldn't happen, and probably a scam of some sort. Things like the power lines going in, almost thinking it's turning citi-fied out here, despite the closest two stoplights being 30 miles away. Used to have virtually nothing visible in the night other than a very faint, distant cell tower blinking about 15 years ago (first "civilization" I could see).
Guess I wouldn't mind something legit paying a fee, getting used to seeing "things" around, would be less work than cows, getting kinda tired of them with the weather and everything going on anyway....

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
