The farmers seem to benefit quite substantially from technology based in data centers powered by these same lines. Satellites help them guide planting and harvesting to absolutely maximize yields and fuel usage. As do the labs using AI to produce optimal pest and drought resistant seed that also optimize yields. Farmers use technology to gain maximum efficiency in many other aspects of their business.
I understand they do not like this seemingly harmless intrusion on their land. But they must also be mindful of the greater good. AI might help save their child from severe illness as just one example. And yes, technology investors deserve a reasonable return. My guess is the farmer’s own IRAs benefit the farmer in the same way.
As far as I can tell from adjacent roadways in the heart of Carroll County farmland near my home, high voltage power lines do virtually nothing to impede farm production. There are a number of power lines already in place and it appears farmers very successfully farm around them. Healthy crops surround the base and even appear directly under them.
