Minnesota farmers build solar sheep-grazing business
Original: Two young Minnesota farmers started grazing sheep under solar panels in 2017; their flock has now grazed
Two young Minnesota farmers began grazing sheep beneath solar panels in 2017, pioneering a practice known as solar grazing that keeps vegetation under arrays managed without mowing. Their flock has since grown substantially, and the story has drawn attention as an example of how farmland and renewable energy projects can work together, with their sheep servicing solar sites across the region.
Why now: Interest in pairing renewable energy with agriculture is growing, making this success story a talking point.
