We don't burn as much as our neighbors, for example, in the spring especially. which is when they're nesting. So we did everything we could to make sure the birds stayed healthy. I was also advised by several ecologists to watch for those animals that depend on hearing for their safety. One of those animals is the jackrabbit. He's got to hear the coyote coming.

And does our jackrabbit population stay up and good? And it is. We have an abundance of deer. So we're looking to the wildlife here to tell us, do we have a healthy ecosystem? And the signals are good for us. So the wind farm, did it have an effect? Yes, everything has an effect. Yeah, it had an effect. I'm sure it did.

But those keystone species that we're watching, specifically the greater prairie chicken and those jackrabbits, those populations have remained healthy. Oh, back to the bird kill. Yeah, they studied, let's see, for three years after the park was built, I would see the students out there with hard hats on, and they would do a spiral walk from the base out of the turbine.

In three years of study, they never found one dead bird, not one. Now, we're not in a fly path here. We're not in a migratory path, but they finally quit looking after three years.

We do. Our house is about a mile from the closest turbine, and the wind farm is to the west and south of us. So that's the prevailing wind. Some nights we will hear what sounds like either a river or a surf. And, you know, if you take a broomstick and swipe it through the air really fast, that's the sound we're hearing is the blades cutting through the air.

We don't hear a mechanical sound, but we hear kind of a whooshing in the distance. Like I said, it resembles a river or the surf in the distance. And so we do hear that. We've had mechanical sounds. And of course, like if there's something wrong with a turbine, We call the manager and say, hey, number 23 is putting out a squeak. You need to get it oiled or whatever.

And they will typically handle any kind of abnormal mechanical sounds that are coming from the turbines. Now, when you're at the base of the turbine, yes, you do hear the rotor sound. You can hear that. You can hear a mechanical sound when you're at the base of the turbines.

Well, again, my mind, you know, I would want to know, is it going to impair? And that's my first question. That's why my hard no came out was like, I don't want to do anything that impairs my capacity to continue my agricultural enterprises here. I don't want that. And again, at the end of the day.
