Interesting to see that a Solar Farm wasn't getting planning permission until they added into the design the farming element. More of this please - read several other stories of how solar farms can help improve biodiversity if done right.

Also the quality and quantity of Merino wool is increased with PV providing shading etc.

This can really be a win for everybody PV and farmers. Perhaps could help with replanting of desert fringes etc.

Nice to hear it done properly, ..on the other side of the pond, as not expecting that, but yes this should help produce some exceptional grazing, wool & meat of animals we are being told to cut right down on, (no cynicism, prefer natural fertilizers for the biosphere than too much lab chemical land drenching)

Hope the water & the bed hives are up to scratch & not stressed, abused commodities.
Fingers crossed this is a ground-breaking adoption of solar farm husbandry.
