Iowa Farmer Reduces Debt With Wind Turbines

Times of India · business

Iowa farmer Evie Haupt, 75, is significantly reducing her farm debt thanks to three wind turbines on her 160-acre property. The turbines generate approximately $35,000 annually, helping her pay down $350,000 in debt to $67,000. Each turbine uses less than an acre, allowing her to continue farming the majority of her land. This dual income stream provides a crucial financial lifeline as U.S. farm profits are expected to fall due to rising costs and unpredictable weather.
