USDA Defunds Solar And Wind Projects On Farmlands

“BIG NEWS for American Farmers! I just announced in Lebanon, TN – effective immediately – American farmland will NO LONGER use taxpayer dollars to build solar farms. Millions of acres of prime farmland is left unusable so Green New Deal subsidized solar panels can be built. This destruction of our farms and prime soil is taking away the futures of the next generation of farmers and the future of our country. Starting today, @USDA will no longer deploy programs to fund solar or wind projects on productive farmland, ending massive taxpayer handouts. Also ENDING the use of panels made by foreign adversaries like China. This is AMERICA FIRST.” – Agriculture Sec. Brooke Rollins, posting to X. As noted here earlier today, Trump’s Energy Secretary is a former fracking mogul.
