I happen to be involved in building 16 of those critters right now, adding to an existing field. This particular company is taking great care to keep the landowners happy, I work for the contractor installing them, and both the parent utility and our company install them all around the country. I'm doing the earthwork and building the roads, and personally see & talk to the landowners out 'n about most every day, and the last few weeks it's been pretty common to see a hillside combine & grain wagons working next to a D8 dozer, and I've made a few quickie access roads for the combine crews, everybody's happy. One of the gents has a few beautiful horses out, and I've put a guy full time at the fence gate when we're running rock trucks to tend to the horses- and they're sneaky critters LOL. There are pretty good sized bases for the turbines, about a 65' diameter hole, but we clean off and stockpile all the topsoil first, then excavate, install the base, and backfill, and when everthing is done, regrade the subsoil to blend into the terrain, and last replace the topsoil. Access roads are left, farmers get a cut and free roads, everybody seems happy. As in anything with right-of-ways, easements, and contracts, of course you should use the services of the best legal counsel you can get- and the landowners working through a common firm as a class might be a good idea
