Wind turbines.

The additional beauty is that small farmers in Kansas would be saved as well. And trust me, Kansas small farmers are becoming as endangered as Appalachian mountain tops.

Put wind turbines on the edges of Kansas wheat farms like my little 80 acre spread and you get power plus income, plus wheat. This takes the pressure off the energy industry to mine coal. The wind in Kansas is amazing. It starts in Texas and doesn’t quit until Manitoba. It is incessant.

My question is where do I go to get this ball rolling. Who do I talk to about leasing my land? I could use the money to save the farm. There are alternatives out there. We just can’t seem to hook up.
