REFA Wind Ranch (VIRTUAL) Tour
What does it really look like to host wind energy on your land for nearly 20 years?
Join Renewable Energy Farmers of America (REFA) for a special Live Virtual Ranch Tour with Kansas rancher Pete Ferrell, who helped bring one of the country’s early wind projects to life on his family’s ranch.
Pete is a fourth-generation rancher from Beaumont, Kansas, and the initiator and primary landholding member behind the Elk River Wind Farm, built on the Ferrell Ranch in 2005 and still operating today. Over the past two decades, Pete has seen firsthand how wind energy development can intersect with working agricultural land.
During this live virtual tour, Pete will share the real story behind the project – from the early conversations with developers to what it’s been like hosting turbines on a working ranch for nearly 20 years. He’ll discuss lessons learned, what landowners should think about before signing a lease and how renewable energy can become part of a long-term farm or ranch operation.
Whether you’re exploring renewable energy on your land or already hosting a project, this is a rare opportunity to hear directly from a landowner who helped pioneer wind energy on working agricultural land.
Don’t miss this live virtual event and inside look at what it takes to bring wind energy to a family ranch – and what two decades of experience can teach today’s landowners. NOTE: Upon registering, you'll receive a Zoom link valid for ONE DEVICE ONLY to connect to this event.
NOTE: All interested in participating should REGISTER SEPARATELY to receive their own link to join. This tour is also being live streamed and recorded via YouTube/Facebook, with the links being provided in communication after registering.

How can solar development help keep family farmland in the family while creating new agricultural opportunities?
Join Renewable Energy Farmers of America (REFA) for a virtual farm tour featuring Meredith DeBorde of Lazy D Farm in Ennis, Texas, where livestock production and utility-scale solar work side by side.
When faced with losing part of their land to a proposed high-speed rail project, the DeBorde family chose a different path—partnering with Lightsource BP to host the Elm Branch Solar Farm. Today, they continue to own and operate their farm while grazing sheep across more than 2,000 acres beneath solar panels, demonstrating how renewable energy can support both farm viability and long-term land stewardship.
During this tour, participants will learn how the family integrated sheep grazing into their operation, the lessons they've learned managing livestock in a solar environment, and how agrivoltaics has diversified their business. They'll also share practical insights on protecting livestock with guardian dogs, using drones to monitor flocks, and managing a successful sheep operation alongside cattle.
Whether you're interested in agrivoltaics, exploring solar development, or looking to diversify your farm income, this tour offers a unique opportunity to learn directly from landowners putting these practices to work.
