In 2019, New York farmer Erica Frenay sent 59 sheep to graze at a solar farm for five months; she earned $2,325 while allowing her own pasture to recover

At Shelterbelt Farm in New York, Erica Frenay has taken a creative approach by leasing her sheep to graze beneath solar panels. This arrangement not only provides her with additional income but also helps manage her livestock while reducing overcrowding. Moreover, solar grazing curtails the need for fuel-powered mowers, showcasing a harmonious relationship between agriculture and renewable energy.
