I am against the solar farm because I am aware of the need to retain farm land for the production of fod for now and furture generations and feel this is an unessecary loss of acres of agricultural land that is unlikely to ever be returned food production due to damage done to the land during the life of the project. Claims by that the land will improve during the solar farm's lifespan are unfounded and false. There will not be enough sunlight for plant growth, rendering the idea of grazing sheep or poultry on the land unrealistic. Plants do not grow in shade and the size and scale of each individual panel will not allow any vegetation to grow another false claim which is not backed up with evidence.
