Agrivoltaics could save both the wheat and the farms. The wheat, because partial sun reduces evaporation and heat stress; and the farm, because they provide a revenue stream year-round. A good configuration for wheat is bifacial panels erected as simple fence-rows running N-S, catching morning and afternoon sun, widely enough separated for equipment to fit between. It is said that wheat, like many grains and unlike most vegetables, yields a bit less with less sun. While strictly true under ideal circumstances, circumstances are rarely ideal. When they are, you can afford a dip. When not, you likely don't get one.
