   Dreaming of solar electric sheep

   We might call them solar farms, but there's often no farming going on   
   under solar panels. That's a real shame. But as Rachel Williamson   
   reports, with some hard work and planning, a solar harvest doesn't   
   need to impact agricultural output.   
   ...   
   ..   
   That research has shown that it's possible to farm and produce   
   electricity at the same time. And with hard work and planning, it's   
   possible while maintaining Australians' ideal of what the bush should   
   be. Luckily, we don't have to go into this situation blind. In Europe   
   and Japan, limited land forced new ways of thinking about power and   
   farming many years ago. And in the USA, business-savvy farmers   
   developed a new multi-billion-dollar industry out of 'solar grazing'.   
   Australia has a lot to gain from the idea that farming and solar can   
   happily coexist.
