I welcome the witnesses. The current rules allow farms with solar panels to qualify for the relief if no more than 50% of the land area is covered. Is that holding farmers back from getting involved in the business? Mr. Connolly stated that some farmers would like to go into this full time and big time. Are there any stipulations that are holding farmers back? What is the reason for the size stipulation in the first place and why is it there? Is this the kind of condition whereby a farmer cannot get into it unless it is just part of the land?
