How can people say no to agriculture but yes to solar panels?

This field isnā€™t just a crop.

Itā€™s open space.

Itā€™s wildlife habitat.

Itā€™s a way of life.

Itā€™s family farms, rural communities, and generations of stewardship.

For decades, farmers have cared for this land, improved it, and passed it on hoping the next generation could do the same.

Now, more and more farmland is being viewed as the perfect place for industrial development.

Iā€™m asking why preserving farmland seems to matter less and less.

Because once fields become something else, theyā€™re rarely ever used as farm fields again.

Whatā€™s more valuable to future generations: preserving farmland or covering it with solar panels?

Day 2 of ā€œThe Things Farming Takesā€

āž”ļø Control

Few professions depend so heavily on things they cannot control.

Rain. Drought. Wind. Hail. Disease. Markets. Regulations.

A farmer can choose the right seed, apply the right fertilizer, maintain the equipment, work from sunrise to sunset, and make every decision exactly as they should.

And still lose.

One storm can flatten a crop in minutes.

One drought can erase months of growth.

One market swing can turn a profitable year into a financial loss.

In most careers, hard work increases the odds of success. In farming, hard work is required just for the chance.

Thatā€™s one of the hardest sacrifices farming demands: giving up control.

Farmers invest their time, money, energy, and faith into something they can never fully control. They learn to accept uncertainty, adapt when plans fall apart, and keep moving forward when circumstances are beyond their reach.

Farming teaches a lesson most people spend their lives trying to avoid:

Sometimes effort and outcome arenā€™t connected.

Sometimes you do everything right and still donā€™t get the result you hoped for.

Yet every spring, farmers plant again.

Not because theyā€™re guaranteed a harvest.

Not because theyā€™re guaranteed a profit.

But because hope is part of the job.

And despite everything they canā€™t control, they keep betting on the possibility of a better season ahead.

Cows became the enemy before ultra-processed food did.

Think about that.

Weā€™re told cattle are the problemā€¦

Meanwhile:
ā€¢ farmland is being covered with solar panels and data centers
ā€¢ ultra-processed foods dominate grocery store shelves
ā€¢ fewer people know where their food actually comes from

Are there environmental conversations we should have about agriculture? Absolutely.

But blaming cattle while promoting factory-made food alternatives is exactly why more people are starting to question the narrative.

The farther people get from farming, the easier it becomes to forget that food still starts with farmers, land, and livestock.

šŸ”„ Agree or disagree: Are cattle really the problem, or are you blaming the wrong thing?

Day 1 of ā€œThe Things Farming Takesā€
āž”ļø Certainty

Most businesses know what theyā€™re selling before they invest their money.

Farmers donā€™t.

Every spring, farmers spend thousandsā€”or even millionsā€”of dollars on seed, fertilizer, fuel, equipment, land payments, insurance, and labor before a single crop is planted.

And unlike most businesses, farmers canā€™t simply raise prices when costs go up. They donā€™t get to decide what the market will pay when harvest arrives.

They invest first and hope the weather cooperates.

They hope the markets hold.

They hope pests stay away.

They hope drought, floods, hail, wind, disease, or an early frost donā€™t erase months of work in a matter of hours.

Imagine putting your entire yearā€™s income on the line before knowing what youā€™ll produce, what youā€™ll sell it for, or if youā€™ll make a profit at all.

Thatā€™s farming.

Itā€™s one of the few industries where success depends on factors completely outside your control, yet the bills still have to be paid.

Every season, farmers trade certainty for possibility. They make decisions with incomplete information, take risks most people would never consider, and do it all again the following year.

Not because itā€™s guaranteed.

Because someone has to do it.

And every meal starts with a farmer willing to bet on a future they canā€™t see. šŸŒ±šŸšœ

I've talked quite a bit about solar farms, data centers, and housing developments taking farmland out of production, but I haven't said much about wind turbines.

Unlike large solar projects, wind turbines don't usually remove an entire field from production. Farmers can often continue planting and harvesting around them. However, that doesn't mean they come without impacts.

Access roads, turbine pads, underground infrastructure, construction traffic, and maintenance areas all take up space and can affect field operations. Large equipment has to work around these obstacles, and soil compaction from construction can be a long-term concern. Drainage systems may also be affected if they aren't properly managed during installation.

For many farmers, the biggest concern isn't necessarily the turbine itself-it's how the project is built, maintained, and whether the long-term impacts on the land are fully considered.

As with solar farms, data centers, and housing developments, every project deserves an honest conversation about the trade-offs. Productive farmland is a finite resource, and once changes are made to it, those impacts can last for generations.

I'm not saying every wind project is bad, but I do think it's important to look beyond the lease payment and consider what these developments mean for the land that benefits Americans.

ā€œGod isnā€™t just in churches.ā€

Heā€™s in the sunrise before the work begins.

Heā€™s in the rain that nourishes the fields.

Heā€™s in the first breath of a newborn calf.

Heā€™s in the quiet beauty of a sunset over a pasture.

You donā€™t have to sit in a pew to see His creation.

His presence is found right hereā€”in the fields, among the cattle, and in moments like this. šŸŒ…šŸ„
