We need your help! Citizens for Fair Fields is urgently trying to save nearly 2,300 acres of prime farmland from a foreign owned proposed industrial solar project in Fairfield County, Ohio. We are currently concentrating our efforts on the first of three projects because of its progress, but all three projects total nearly 5,000 acres! Solar companies, subsidized by our federal tax dollars, are invading our beautiful rural community to build massive industrial solar fields. Our farming and recreational community has an abundance of aquatic life, livestock, wildlife, including American Bald Eagles, Blue Herons, Egrets and Osprey that thrive in their natural habitat in the region which includes Buckeye Lake, wetlands, woods, farmland and waterways throughout the area.

 

Raising funds is critical in securing the most experienced attorney in this specialized field to represent our opposition to the project that will take some of the best land in the county out of production. According to American Farmland Trust, 72% of Ohio’s agriculture land is considered “Nationally Significant” or land best suited for growing food and crops. Agriculture is Ohio’s top industry and 1 out of every 8 jobs is agriculture related. Losing thousands of acres of farmland for at least 30 years to solar means losing many agricultural jobs as well as food and crop production. Industrial solar belongs in industrial settings, not on agricultural land.
