Iowa farmer turns to solar leases paying $1,200 per acre as falling crop prices squeeze profits

Tom Green, an Iowa farmer, backs the Folsom Lake Solar Project after it secured the green light from the Mills County Zoning Board. This initiative is set to ensure reliable income through long-term land leases amid tough farming conditions. It promises to produce a substantial amount of electricity, enough to power many local homes, while also creating jobs and boosting tax revenues.
