There’s a ny times article about this type of thing that’s a few years old. I recall reading it back in the day.
From what I remember - if they are offering that much per acre you have a few things in your favors: large substation nearby which have several sets of high voltage lines running to it.
Very few farmers approached got that high of a offer due to grid connection runs.
And they can buy another house or rent more land.

Ask the solar co. for more than $600.

$1500 a ac is what I was told. Don't know what company. Was told they were looking at over 1K ac.

Doesn’t have to be a Democrat controlled state. The fed gov is doing the same

Couple miles in Ventress. There are main power lines and substations in the area.

Exactly. They have room for more money.

Yea I’m pretty sure I know about where you talking about. That’s real close to being able to tie in. What I’m talking about isn’t quite as close.

If the state handles it like Texas did the consumer gets screwed big time. Solar is A LOT MORE EXPENSIVE than conventional generation. In order for the solar to pay its bonds off they get the state to require the utilities to buy this electricity at higher rates than they can generate it themselves and it gets passed on you you. It's a JBE transfer of wealth to his buddies. Pure scam.

If you live in a state controlled by Democrats trying to force the state into an absurd "100% green by 2030" type initiative then jump on it. There is so much government money being thrown around to prop up the industry and line the pockets of friends and family.
That's your stance on wind turbines?

Can’t be too aggressive. They’ll just approach someone down the road

Agreed, but they have more room.
Good luck with whatever you decide and keep us posted.

Appreciate it. I don’t have a say, I’m just trying to look out for my parents

We’re slaves used on your families farm at any point?
Cause your family is probably racist
White folks with farms= racist
