Windmills

There has been a lot of construction and changes at the dry farm this summer.  The Horse Butte Wind Farm has been being built.  There are currently 32 windmills being built with 23 more to follow in the future.  One of those in on our farm – we would have liked more but we are glad to have one.  We have kept track of each step and the progress being made.  They had a very large crane and two smaller cranes to lift the pieces in place.  Some of the parts were so large that it took a separate truck “Iron Mike” to help pull them up the hills. Each turbine will power almost 800 homes for one year.  In July the company hosted a luncheon and blade signing for everyone involved in the project.  It brings a different look to the landscape, but one  that I can handle.  I only wish they would let me tap into  the energy  for my RV Park.
