Farmers in Kansas are realizing the benefits of hosting renewable projects on their land. Here is what some of them have to say.

“We thought it would protect the future generations, it {is} going to protect our land.”

 

Sara Dawson, Butler County farmer and rancher

“You don’t let them extract oil from your land and then not let them put up a turbine… It’s a nice little addition to our retirement income.”

 

Mary Fund, Nemaha County farmer

I never in all my life thought I would stand up here to protect our property rights by being able to use our land legally for the best benefit of our family.”

 

Donna Knoche, Johnson County farmer

As a proud Kansas resident, I wholeheartedly express my support for Kansas’s farmers and the Farm-To-Power community. I support:

  • Farm-To-Power’s mission to bring the economic benefits of renewable energy to our rural communities,
  • Diversifying our energy mix for the prosperity of our community,
  • Stimulating economic growth, creating jobs, and keeping our taxes and energy costs low, and
  • Securing a brighter and more sustainable future for generations to come.

I urge all Kansas residents and community leaders to unite behind Kansas’s farmers so that together our state can harness the power of renewable energy for the betterment of our community.
