Goals, Values, Vision

I want to keep Michigan Farmers doing what they do best---Farming. We can create deals that could help with dairy farmers and not utilize land. Or if you have extra land, we can create income with a lease deal to offset the cost of electricity. I want to help out business owners and land owners and not take away farms.  Solar deals are not for everyone...so I am looking to find those who it would be a positive and work with them.
