Solar Small Farming is the Future
There is a majestic beauty in small dairy farms. This could be because I am a lifelong Wisconsinite and grew up with them dotting my landscape. Red barns and fields of placid, happy cows chewing away on grass are emblematic of my home state. Frustratingly, the very same small farms that were once the lifeblood here are disappearing at a startling rate. In 2019 alone, the state lost 10% of viable dairy farms. Several factors go into this, but the main culprits are plummeting commodities prices and the rise of multi-thousand cow dairies known as CAFOs. What can be done to help these small farmers keep their farms? I think there is a smart solution that can help save this way of life and also work towards the sustainable future we all need. I think solar small farming is the future.
