You've got a really bizarre view of this, like you're really looking for an angle to discredit it.

Like, if your primary business is solar, and as a profitable side project you also produce food, what's the actual issue there?

Sorry if I came out like I'm trying to discredit the idea, rather I was just trying to put more information out there - the linked article is fairly light on details.

There isn't one. But it's somewhat concerning that it was more viable for the owner to become a power plant than to run their farm as a farm.

That's thanks to food monopolies driving the prices farmers get down to barely sustainable levels
