In Alberta, where I am, most solar farms are built on marginal farmland so it's not worth it to elevate the solar racking because high value crops can't be grown in the poor soil or low rainfall conditions in the area. But they do often graze sheep or other animals under the panels. #solargrazing

Massive Solar Plus Storage Facility To Replace Coal And Gas, Too Sheep graze among the panels at the Sherco Solar power plant in Minnesota, which is slated for a major solar plus storage expansion.

Coal loses, solar + storage wins (with bonus sheep, too).

Speaking of livestock farming this report on the increase of #sheep under panels in the US is heartening.
There’s a bit of unwarranted pushback in #Australia at the moment to #SolarGrazing.
