Rainbow in a sugar beet field off my front porch

Nice pic! I'm curious does the sugar beet farmer own those windmills or does he get a subsidy for allowing them on his land?

There's 35. ONly six are used locallly (I think) The local ones cost about 2.5 million a piece and power deep irrigation wells and they are privately owned.
The other 29 send power to those sticking californians.
If the power goes out in my house, I don't get any from them.
