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

“Farming is a tough business. My family has owned the farm since 1880, and we would like to continue to operate it as a farm. We signed a wind lease because we believe in renewable energy and that it would be a big boost in income, allowing us to keep the property as a farm.”

 

Dick Farnswort, Montcalm County farmer

“The offer was ‘once in a lifetime.”

 

Rich Slovak, soybeans, corn, and solar farmer, Shiawassee County

As a proud Michigan resident, I wholeheartedly express my support for Michigan’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 Michigan residents and community leaders to unite behind Michigan’s farmers so that together our state can harness the power of renewable energy for the betterment of our community.
