Converting farm land into solar, or even fallow land, seems like a massive societal benefit. Most farmland is fantastically unproductive, used for excess corn, soy, or sugar that we struggle to find uses for.
Taking even a fraction of the land used for ethanol and using it for solar would give us enough energy to power the US. And the ethanol business is a complete make work program.
