The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

A lot of factors go into keeping farmland healthy, but sunlight is one of them.

No light, the ecosystem breaks down at its most fundamental levels.

No foliage, expect soil erosion.

If we must have these, put the photovoltaics over parking lots and buildings, not over arable land.

Cattle can graze near oil and gas wells and even windmills...land can be farmed near those, too, but you don't see agriculture in and among the elements of solar farms.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
