Fighting 'Solar Farm' Installation

I would be interested in knowing if your hay prices have increased too.

my latest USDA farm products magazine shows alfalfa hay at 506.65 is up from 377.86 one year ago.
up 34% from one year ago.

No one around central Iowa can complain about the price of electricity.

In 1999 I paid 14.2 cents per kilowatt
In 2022 I paid 14.5 cents per kilowatt

Those prices include all fees and taxes and averaged for the entire year.

No they haven’t.
Hay prices are pretty flat around here. Have no idea what that has to do with energy prices.
Now that I revealed that, man/woman-up and let’s hear if you had an increase in pay?

Per your previous post “
Just saw electricity prices are up 10.2% average nationwide. Solar and wind not bringing prices down”.

Do you have any documentation of that “fact” or is it just guess?

No on pay increase as I’m retired and survive on my SS and annual cost of living increases.

Just heard it on the news yesterday, and the news man didn’t stutter. Mine are up at least that much.
And we have more solar and wind power than ever.

Maybe this will help:

Nice spin, but if you read the article it states…

“Electricity costs are relentlessly climbing because prices for the two biggest power-plant fuels -- natural gas and coal -- have surged in the last year…”

No mention that solar is the reason for the cost increases.

No mention that solar is the reason for the cost increases.

And energy prices have surged because of newly added taxes, too.

2021 = 13.7/kw hour
2022 = 14.8/kw hour

Alfalfa is a legume

yes you are correct alfalfa is a legume.

just as an FYI there are 2 main types of hay being grass and legume (some say 3 when gras/legume mixed).

- Legume hay alfalfa and clover.
- Grass hay fescue, bromegrass, timothy, orchardgrass, ryegrass, fescue Bermuda, bluegass.
I don't think I missed any and if I did feel free to add.
