Summary
The bill lets farmland owners build renewable‑energy facilities on preserved land, as long as the equipment doesn’t significantly disrupt farming and stays within size limits. Energy can be used on‑site, to lower farm costs, or to supply heat or electricity to an adjacent home owned by the farmer. Approvals are handled by a state committee with no application fees.
