Senators Move to Shield Farmland from Solar Subsidies
Liberty Check
- Bans taxpayer dollars for solar projects on fertile farmland.
- Prevents federal agencies from supporting facility construction on “prime farmland.”
- Denies green energy tax credits to solar operations displacing American agriculture.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Sen. Cynthia Lummis have introduced the Protecting American Farmland Act to block federal funds for solar projects on prime U.S. farmland. The bill codifies an executive order that prohibits using taxpayer money to subsidize solar panel development on valuable agricultural land.
The legislation would keep solar projects off “prime farmland” as defined by federal law, and deny them eligibility for federal green energy tax credits. The act pushes back against expanding federal interference in American agriculture and energy markets.
Speaker statements emphasize the threat such subsidies pose to America’s food supply and economic sovereignty. The policy confronts the Biden administration’s pro-subsidy approach, arguing for a return to responsible, market-driven energy choices.
Congress must act to prioritize national food security over politically motivated green energy schemes. Raise your voice and demand representatives stand for American farmers, not special interests.
Our freedoms depend on staying vigilant.
