Welcome to Farmland First
We are a grassroots movement that started right here in Central Wisconsin.
We aim to project our Farmland and Local communities from industrial Wind and Solar Energy Complexes across Wisconsin.
On this page, you will find peer-reviewed papers, personal stories, and options for how you can help advocate.
The mission of Farmland First is to provide education, advocacy, political influence, fundraising, and litigation support for rural people and our health, safety and land.

Things to question :
What are the health risks associated with having industrial turbines nearby?
2. Why can the wind company cancel the contract with no notice?
3. How much liability does the developer shift onto the landowner?
4. Who are contracts being signed with? Are they local?
5. Do I fully comprehend the size of a 600 - 800 foot turbine?
6. How does this change our beautiful landscape? Do I want to watch a sunset, or sunrise, through the blades of a turbine?
7. Do I understand what this will do to land value? For me, my neighbors, our townships and communities..
8. Why are so many residents across the State of WI forming groups to pushback against industrial wind?
Did you know?
The Turbines being planned for various Wisconsin locations may be 600 feet tall, possibly 800 feet tall.
Twice the height of the Statue of Liberty,
As tall as the tallest skyscraper in Wisconsin.
Turbines may be located just 1,250 ft from your home.
Do you want to watch a sunset through the blades of a turbine?
“By signing that contract, I signed away the control of the family farm, and it’s the biggest regret I have ever experienced and will ever experience.”
