I don't know how much extra income a farmer could expect from net metering, but the fact that a farmer could pick up $4000 from each windmill a power company has on his land per year without the farmer having to lift a finger still sounds like a pretty good deal for farmers. Each tower takes up less than an acre so that is a lot more income than a farmer could expect from raising corn on that spot.
