Cranberries under solar panels: a first-ever harvest proves farms can grow food and power at once

In Kingston and Plymouth, Massachusetts, cranberry farmer Iain Ward has just picked the first-ever harvest of cranberries grown beneath solar panels built over bogs. The two sites were designed with Ward so the panels would not harm the delicate wetland crop — and the extra income from leasing the land for power has made bogs that sat fallow for years worth farming again. Food below, clean electricity above, and a farm back in business.
