It's not just sheep that like solar over farmland - solar panels provide farmworkers shelter from the sun and reduces fatigue:

'A recent study in Colorado USA found that farmworkers can also benefit. It spoke to workers and took various physical heat stress metrics, finding that the panels can help farms avoid conditions conducive to dangerous heat stress.'

The "Unity News" telethon discussed the necessary steps to align agricultural policies with the EU. It also addressed the situation with Poland, where some politicians and farmers blocked the border to gain more funding. Ukrainian farmers' exports to the EU are not problematic. About 50% of the EU's requirements to the Ukrainian government concern agriculture. The rest pertain to other areas. The high demands should be postponed as Ukrainian farmers cannot meet them currently. #UkraineEU #Agricu
