"I'm a fifth generation rancher and farmer. I grew up on a farm, and we're trying to give our kids the opportunity to grow up on the farm as well. But there are a lot of tough times: financials, weather, anything God can throw at you... Our different revenue streams help us with those challenges every day. We grow hay production crops. We have our sheep and we get a wool crop off of that. We have lamb crop, and we also partnered with Pivot Energy to maintain their solar sites with our sheep. My relationship with Angie Burke at Pivot has been amazing over the last five years. We value the same things and we collaborate on a lot of different ideas."

"Our family has owned this land for decades and we take great pride in its agricultural history. The ability to harvest a new product – energy from the sun – while utilizing grazing sheep for the groundcover respects the past while offering exciting opportunities for the future. In addition to the significant financial support this project will provide to our family, it will also improve the local infrastructure, increase local tax revenue, and support a growing job market for work in solar. This was a no-brainer for us and a win-win for everyone involved."

"We were able to save the farm because of Pivot & because of the investment that they made in us and Blake Farms."
