Wind turbines are going up about 30 crow miles away. Very many of them, I can see all their lights blinking on my once completely dark horizon in the middle of nowhere. Some family has been fighting them.
I keep getting a direct mailed ad for a solar farm type deal, got two last week, all from the same place. They say they pay up to $1250/acre/year. "20-40 year lease available" innovativesolarfarms.com (not linked on purpose, but that's the address) They say they need those large transmission lines, which those haven't been installed yet but will be soon, "they" took 8 acres of mine as it passes by one corner (I'm not supposed to have any tower leg on my property, just the easement clips me, and the map looks like one leg of one tower might be in the fence line).
I have a few hundred acres the panels could go on, but my guess is it wouldn't happen, and probably a scam of some sort. Things like the power lines going in, almost thinking it's turning citi-fied out here, despite the closest two stoplights being 30 miles away. Used to have virtually nothing visible in the night other than a very faint, distant cell tower blinking about 15 years ago (first "civilization" I could see).
Guess I wouldn't mind something legit paying a fee, getting used to seeing "things" around, would be less work than cows, getting kinda tired of them with the weather and everything going on anyway....

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
