We're not against solar farms, we're against ruining good rural land | Letter

I have been a property owner in the Clear Creek, Walang, Glanmire area for the past 30 years.

I don't know where you have gotten the idea that all of us are against solar farms as we are not; we are against the destruction of prime rural land - eg, fat lambs, prime cattle, wheat, oats, barley, lucerne cropping.

There is plenty of land not classed as rural around the district to suit solar farming, I'm sure.

I don't know if you have ever been in primary production as it is a hard enough game without you putting your two bobs' worth in and for what gain?

How would you like a solar farm on a park in Raglan?

Stick with the highway upgrade if you want something to do. Or chase Andrew Gee to pledge $15 million to upgrade our base hospital instead of the private hospital and council, car park, etc.

Look at the community news in the Western Advocate (p13, May 28) - that's what our local state member is doing.

My say? Well done, Paul.
