People that have windmills on their property all seem happy with them. The towers alone generate more income than farming the same land ever did plus the land can still be farmed around the towers. I have not heard any of them complain. People that don't have them seem to be the ones that are doing the complaining.
One or more of your local law firms will probably be negotiating for blocks of land owners. Joining one of those blocks could give you more leverage.
I would negotiate that the tower, pad and driveways must be removed and restored at the end of service life. Also look at how the payments and right of ways would transfer if you sell your property. That could really affect your resale value. Also look at who pays any additional property taxed on the windmill and for how long. A good lawyer will know what to look for.
Think of it like a land developer. Farmers love to complain about development encroaching on their property, then they cry all the way to the bank when they sell out and buy five to ten times as much ground a county over in a no-tax land exchange.
Good luck. You have a problem/oportunity most farmer would like to have.
