As crops rise up in Van Wert County, soon wind turbines will also rise among them. BP has been pursuing leases with area farmers to install wind turbines on their land.
The Van Wert County Wind Association held a meeting to answer questions about wind land leases. Catherine Heitz said contracts can be complicated and even confusing, which could result in a bad deal for a farmer.
Ed Cully recently visited another wind farm to get an idea of what it would be like. Now, knowing both sides, Cully said he is ready to make an informed decision about leasing his land.
