Hi Ed, where did I say this farmer considered this "farm ground" ?

At 313 thou a year just in rent, does the solar company actually make money? How many megawatts of power can an acre of solar panels produce per year in N.C.? In Alaska a watt of panel rating will produce 1 kWh of power per year. I would assume that total yearly sunlight is similar regardless of where on the planet you are with accounting for average yearly weather conditions.

You didn't and I didn't intend to suggest that you did. My point was following on the idea of how do you restore mature hardwoods, which obviously you can't, so they need to be gone first and the $ in the property owner's pocket.
