I can help you with your interest in horse breeders. One of my neighbors had to sell their horse farm that had been in the family for generations. There family could not take the wind turbine nuisance any longer and the horses could not tolerate it either. They lost $100,000 on the farm sale and are starting over at 65 years old. Let me know if you would like to learn about my friend's experience with wind farms. She will send you her number. Don't tell us you care about farmers when you work everyday to destroy farmer's homes and communities.
