Study Finds Utility-Scale Solar Buildout Would Barely Move US Crop Prices
New modeling from Indiana University suggests that even substantial solar development on US cropland would raise major crop prices only modestly under historically consistent buildout patterns.
Key Takeaways
- Indiana University modeled how utility-scale solar on cropland could affect US agriculture.
- Under a baseline scenario, maize, soybean and wheat prices rose by less than 5.6%.
