What happens when wind turbines meet wheat fields?
Across Western Australia, more and more farmers are being approached by energy companies with big ideas - and big infrastructure. But what does it all mean for your farm?
This limited series from Farmanco dives into Diversifying Farm Income: Integrating Renewable Energy into Agriculture - a project sparked by growers just like you, looking for clarity, opportunity … and a fair deal.
Over three episodes, the series unpacks the findings of a grower survey and explores what’s really driving renewable energy interest in WA’s ag sector - from the financial upside and long-term business resilience to the social, legal, and environmental realities on the ground.
Whether you're curious, cautious, or already in talk - this series is your independent guide to navigating the renewables rollout.
