So we've already covered how that can be put in place, how that can be considered, you know, the mitigation factors for what that looks like. But when you get the questions about land use restriction, you know, it's different your operation on, on pasture versus farming, but is it that big of a deal to have the service access roads, the property around the base of these towers?
Is there a big problem with not being able to utilize that property like you did before?

Right. And here in row crop country, I'll tell you that those access roads are also a benefit. You know, there's a lot of focus on field compaction. Yeah. And when you can load your semis or your wagons or use those roads to reduce the amount of trips across your soil, it is a benefit.

Yeah. Now, what about the environmentalists? Are you finding dead birds all over your pasture now because they fly into these blades, into the towers?

Right. No, and I think you kind of alluded to the last one that I know is popular, and that's the sound. Oh, yeah. If the dogs can barely pick up on a whistle and the jackrabbit can still keep itself safe, do you witness a noticeable sound? Is there noise in your background now?

Well, Pete, you have been very forthcoming with your information. You've been very open and honest with your answers and that's, that's extremely valuable to our audience. And we appreciate that. I want to know from you, if we do have somebody that approaches us and wants to start inquiring about putting a farm or a tower on our land, what questions should we be asking?

That's good. I do want to make sure our listeners know that there are resources out there. This interview is one resource, right? We can reach out to Pete. He's always going to be available to answer questions. But we also know that it's important for landowners that are considering these leases for wind energy projects to know that there are experts available.
