TWO BROTHERS, LARRY RAUENHORST AND ROLLY RAUENHORST, INSTALLED ELEVATED SOLAR PANELS IN A FARM FIELD TO RESEARCH THE POTENTIAL FOR CROP AND SOLAR PRODUCTION BUT ARE IN A PAYMENT DISPUTE WITH RENVILLE-SIBLEY COOPERATIVE POWER ASSOCIATION. NOW RETIRED FROM FARMING, RENTS TO AN ACTIVE FARMER. THE PANELS ARE TALL ENOUGH TO ALLOW CROPS TO GROW UNDERNEATH, AND FOR EQUIPMENT TO QORK AROUND THEM.
