Tennessee mechanic turns full-time farmer by grazing sheep on 400-acre solar farm

A mechanic from Tennessee quit his job to become a full-time farmer after gaining grazing rights to over 400 acres of solar farm land. The practice, known as solar grazing, involves using sheep to manage vegetation that grows beneath solar panels. This arrangement benefits both livestock farmers and solar energy companies across the American South. Farmers receive access to pasture and additional income, while solar firms cut down on vegetation maintenance costs and reduce the risk of equipment damage.
