From a Rural Perspective...
Legal Issues in Farming the Wind
In June 2007, the Farmers’ Legal Action Group published the Farmers’ Guide to Wind Energy: Legal Issues in Farming the Wind. The Guide provides a legal perspective on such issues as:
- Leasing land to a third party
- Installing a small wind turbine for on-farm energy use
- Developing a large farmer-owned wind project
The Guide is available at the Energy Office’s web site. Printed and bound copies of the Guide are also available for $35 from the Farmers’ Legal Action Group, 360 North Robert Street, Suite 500, St. Paul, Minnesota, 55101 or by phone at 651-223-5400.
