And I’m curious - are you transporting the sheep back and forth or do they live at/near the panels?

Great story! Are farmers able to put solar on their own lands? I'm curious whether they can afford the capex to install and own their systems or if they can get leases from solar companies for renting their acres for the install?

Well, done. Should be more of it.

I would like to know how much of this is done in Australia.

Congratulations! You have done many things simultaneously. Number 1, and I can’t say the is in strong enough terms, you saved your family farm and business and created future financial security for your family. 2. You have established a legacy for your family that will pass down to future generations. 3. You are providing food so vital to our population. 4. You are producing clean, renewable energy so important to the future of our economy. 5. And O, by the way, you are healing the land and protecting Mother Earth. A “quint-fecta”! Others may rearrange my priorities, but I think I got it right. Thank you!

This is an awesome story! How many sheep do you manage as well as what was the biggest hurdle getting into sheep? Do you have a mapping system for the rotational grazing? I find that unique approaches is the most beneficial to stop bigAg as well as helping small farmers.
