John Langdon, Oregon Farmer
Go to the conferences—talk to the people, get those connections. You'll learn who to work with, where sites are in your area, who's building in your area, what they are doing, what they are looking for... and you'll find that these organizations are trying to help you as well.

I hope that this industry [agrivoltaics] can be a bulwark against the the deterioration and the destruction of the small family farm in the midwest.
Matt Riggs, Illinois Farmer
We've had our family farm since 1872 and haven't had cows since 1995. Today, we're raising cattle and growing crops underneath a solar array. It was designed with the cows, the vegetables, and a variety of different animals for grazing in mind. Our four-legged lawnmowers are working really hard.
Paul Knowlton, Massachusetts Farmer
We've taken a small operation and have been able to scale it into something much larger without having all that land access prior. Each site we operate as a full-time ranch. We have full-time local employees, we use local vendors, and try to make that whole circular economy work at the local level.
