    Excerpt: "What Works Under Solar Panels

    Sheep and Poultry: #SheepGrazing is well-established at solar sites, they benefit from shade, don't damage equipment, and manage vegetation. #Poultry also do well. Larger animals require reinforced racking; goats and pigs may interfere with wiring.

    #Hay and #Pasture: Shading reduces yields, but shade-tolerant species (#orchardgrass, #WhiteClover) maintain reasonable productivity.

    #Vegetables: #LeafyGreens, #brassicas, and some #herbs tolerate #PartialShade. Sun-loving crops should be planted between panel rows.

    Fruit: Most fruit crops need full sun. Currants and gooseberries are more tolerant. Start small to observe actual impacts." [Raspberries do well in partial sun]."

  2. Barn in Bliss Township

    Had the chance to visit my old stomping grounds lately. Northern Michigan is a mix of small towns, expansive beaches, wooded countryside, and many old farms.
    This little barn was found between Cross Village and the small town of Levering.
