Navigating Solar Lease Agreements for Farms

You have the opportunity to lease your farmland to a solar energy company! It sounds like a great deal, and you are interested, but you are not sure just how it works…can you still farm? What will it mean for your ag assessment?

Join CCE Yates at an in-person meeting for farmers and rural landowners to get answers to your solar leasing questions. This program will feature several live webinars presented by industry experts to help you navigate the solar development process, make informed decisions, and negotiate solar lease agreements. CCE Yates will provide a virtual option for attendees that would like to participate in the meeting from a remote location. Please indicate your preference in-person or virtual attendance when you register.
