A major shift is underway in rural Indiana, where farmers are discovering that solar and wind projects can offer financial stability, especially when times are tougher than ever. 

In Howard County, landowners who once saw renewable energy proposals derailed by local opposition are embracing private projects where they rent out their property for renewable energy production, according to Allied News

It’s a win-win-win for the farmers, the energy companies, and the state’s energy reserves.
