Letter to the Editor: Scenic farmland is precious

There seems to be a rush to destroy the beauty of our area of NY with massive solar panels.  I understand farmers are having a difficult time and see the big money being offered as a once in a lifetime opportunity.  But, scenic farmland is so very precious.

Why not have massive solar panels “planted” on top of closed down land-fill areas?

It’s one way to avoid more destruction of our natural environment with man-made devices that have a relatively short life span.

Perhaps there are other ways to help farmers make a good living the way their ancestor’s did.
