I don't know what the actual economics of farm deployments are, but something that might be interesting to consider is that farming has basically been a giant exercise of risk management and hedging for roughly forever. Once upon a time, a farmer might have satisfied some degree of hedging through crop diversity, however modern systems and economics have heavily incentivized massive scale mono-culture. Being able to deploy solar onto their land basically gives farmers a decoupled revenue stream (obviously there is -some- correlation between solar production and good/bad harvests) that doesn't necessarily tax them the same way doing crop diversity might. Now, obviously we might wish to avoid mono-cultures for other reasons, but I think anything that can help farmers manage their risks without just resorting to more consolidation is probably a good thing as well.
