Texas Farmer Earns $200,000 Annually Leasing Land for Solar Panels
Steve Cargil, a 67-year-old farmer from Uvalde, Texas, earns $200,000 yearly by leasing 600 acres of his family's farmland for solar panel installations. Farming has become uncertain due to weather, drought, and rising costs. After a 2018 hailstorm devastated crops and none of his children wanted to continue farming, Cargil found stability through renewable energy leasing on part of the land.
